I have a new G-Force G5R transmission that I started using this summer. I have found the tranny likes lots of RPMs when using the clutchless upshifting. I'm able to do that pretty good but I have issues when trying to do a clutchless downshift. The clutchless downshifting was one of the reasons why I went with a dogring tranny because I'm not very good at heel-toe (rolling the foot). I now use the clutch everytime when down shifting (still trying to figure out the rpm match). I do shift the gears very quickly and the engine is only a 10.6:1 compression ratio.
I've talked with the manufacture regarding the downshifting. Anyone who uses a dogring tranny shed some light on how they do a clutchless downshift ?? Thanks, Brian |

I always thought it was mainly for strength, and shiftability at high revs that everyone went to a dog box, and NOT for the actual speed of the (clutchless) up OR downshifts?
As in; let's get rid of the weakest point of the gearbox, the synchros/blocker rings?
