    anyone ever barked tyres on a downshift?

    I've done it many times. It's not exactly good for the tranny, but then again neither is banging through gears at excessive speeds. Just a word of advice: Don't do it in the rain, I only do this when I wanna scare girlfriends that tell me they're pregnant. Lets just say the car took up 3...

    RPM's Not Dropping very fast?

    You should be able to get smooth shifts just driving around at about 2-2.5k rpm. How does the engine sound when you shift? Might just be bad calibration. You might also have some messed up syncros which can sometimes be fixed by tranny fluid but sometimes require rebuild or replacement.

While everyone else in H.S. had their hondas and crap, I had nothing because what I wanted...

    Gears?

    Ok... this is somewhat of a gear question but ne ways here it goes: I purchased my 97' Cobra about 6 months ago from a wholesaler for a very good price especially for a car with only 35k miles on it. The guy knew nothing about the previous owner and what he had done except for the obvious...
