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

My protruck has an old T101. I am clutching on the downshifts, tricky with no clutch if the gears are loaded under motor braking. If the revs are not close you can lock up real easy, did that on the first lap of an hour race in front of the whole field. Scary. Lol

Never use clutch on up shift unless it is a low rpm low speed shift.
