Running full throttle, engage clutch and then shift has been a process most cars have been able to handle, not run like that all day long, for the better part of 50 years.

And in NJ I know people are used to running off at the mouth at each other because they know nothing will happen; but in the south, we are more than happy to slap the smart right out of that pickle sucker of yours.

If you plan on sawzalling your car up you better get busy. These transmissions will NOT take WOT shifts. Nor will they take launching, or burnouts. Unless you plan on buying a new trans. Like I've said 10x before, trust me, I know.

I know from my experience, and I've seen it on two other 951s that I know were driven HARD here in WNY.
The 968 box wont be launched or power shifted, period. My car is being mostly retired to track duty and cruising. The bimmer on the other hand

Increased stress will either come from increasing engine output or from impact loadings (as mentioned - the power shifting and hard lauches. etc...).

One Lister who had a great 2.5L was Tonyg. If you search, you'll find tons of threads by him, he's not as active as he used to be. He had a "very" worked 2.5L that he tracked often too. He made 400 RWHP+, and I don't ever recall him saying that he had any tranny problems too.
Black Amongus: How about a "bump" to my post #18?
