[gmonde]

you can do it,if you have truck driving experience with a 10 speed that will help the learning curve ,, oh lots of gear noise !

[BILL TAYLOR]

I wouldn;t do that, never had any luck shifting it slow !

Was wondering this.. if there’s a sweet spot to “float” or RPM match shifts??

You won’t have any problem shifting that transmission on the street. It is face tooth design and you won’t need to use the clutch. Just ease off the throttle and move the shifter smoothly and quick. The straight cut gears will be noisy and down shifting should not be done. It will wear pretty fast.

With practice you will get a feel and can and will shift like butter....

Agree ! It is all technique and practice. That said it is a non-synchro box so there will be times in traffic where you just have to slam a gear and go. People will look at you like something just fell out the bottom but it's part of the tradeoff for a strong powershifting box.

I'd be looking for a Jerico WC (Winston Cup) version that has the road race sliders. Never tried one but they are designed to down shift. DR-4's don't like downshifting although on occasion I can get mine into a lower gear without drama. The gear noise will likely make you crazy and yes, they sound like parts are falling out.

I agree that road race sliders are the way to go for street use, but not quite as good for fast powershifts, especially if you tend to "forget" the clutch. At a stop, push in the clutch, push the shifter into first, go. Upshifts are straightforward but the parts slamming together will be quite loud. Downshifting, also loud but works fine with road race sliders. It will also stay in gear without keeping your hand on the shifter while driving.

hi. yes you can use it on street, be noisy, . also they can be down shifted easily. you blip throttle a little, in neutral then it'll go right into gear, . like one guy stated , old trans were straight cut gears, you double clutched them. I learned about that when I was 16 , driving a 1948 GMC truck, no gear grinding, hmmmm. takes practice!
