You need to use the clutch when Shifting

Great news. I got my car back today with new tranny. Nice turnaround. Headed back to the track tomorrow.

This is the video of what happened when the tranny broke:

I figured the sport button would take care of having to use the clutch to shift.

That's about as dramatic as it gets.

OrthoJoe now also holds the record for the fastest 3rd gear repair.

That was my exact process.

Shift to third, rev engine.
Think I missed 3rd, go to fourth for a second.
Shift into third, rev engine.
Light bulb.
Pull into pits.


I'll be on the track at CotA this coming weekend with my new tranny - hopefully the replacements hold up.

The one in my brain that said "You're not missing the shift to 3rd, your gearbox is broken."

We can play lead/follow since we were running very close lap times.
