Hey Guys,
Quick Intro- Longtime M6G follower/20+ year Mustang enthusiast - new to forums after long hiatus away after leaving youth job at speedshop (worked engine shop, tranny shop and parts), selling beloved Blown Fox, then Cobra and becoming a nearly boring automotive adult (currently have JK wrangler). Looking to get back to performance roots with a 2018 PPL2 (6M, of course).
On to my question: Ford is touting No Lift Shift on 2018 with new manual trans and goes as far as detailing that you can push the clutch in without taking foot off the gas (duh). In my day we called this powershifting and it left many of us T5 and T45 owners pulling tranny to replace syncros or entire unit.
After all these years, is it truly ok to powershift? I know they beefed up the syncros on new MT82 but is Ford really going to warranty us poweshifting at 7500 rpm?
Didn’t know if anyone had heard anything on this. Hasn’t popped yet on here or on M6G forum search. Looks like this feature will be put to good use while trying to keep up with badassedness of new A10.
Thx!
