I took my dad for a ride in my car and I shifted into 2nd at 5 k and it spun then went, he's like WTF I'M NOT GONNA HELP YOU WHEN YOU BREAK IT THIS TIME!!!

I didn't see anything real bad about doing it? Iunno probably a pointless post, but I was wondering.

 

it sure as hell ain't the best thing to do, but on occassion its not that big of deal.. i have done it a few times

 

doing that wears axles, mounts and susopension part, but that doesnt stop me from doin it...lol, i like to hit 3rd

 

Well, I just put in new engine mounts, clutch/flywheel and axles... So... I'm just breaking em in the right way! =] hah

 

depends how you're "chirping" it. if you're popping your clutch then, yes it's not good on your drivetrain. by popping the clutch (esp. since you have a perf. clutch) drivetrain is engaging instantly causing what's called drivetrain shock. the function of the clutch is supposed to slip/slide so gears can mesh slowly ensuring a comfortable transition between gears. so when you dump the clutch, gears are forced to slam together thus causing the "chirp". very harsh on the teeth of gears. not to mention you also cause premature wear/damage to misc. bearings. also when chirping you're running into alot of wheel hop, which also is damaging to the drivetrain.

 

I think its fine as long as your not popping the clutch.also if your clutch is way overkill you will break your diff soon... p.s don't be a douch 24/7 "racing" no body is gay

i've never chirped the tires by letting the clutch out slowly.

 

This is how oil pump gears shatter. When "popping" the clutch with high HP and an aggressive clutch and sticky tires and sticky road (like drag strip) you can break stuff.

what do you mean?

 

but poping cluch is how you drive at drag strip isnt it??

 

chirp it in all gears baby..j/k haha do it occasionally tho

 

i guess its ok ...
when you unintentionally do it 2nd or 3rd.
it will deff happen if your trying to shift at high rpms.
but i like barking the shiat out of 4th tho! LOL

 

3rd gear chorps are the best... your dad will hate me

 

I've chirped pulling into second hard a couple times... My car doesn't seem any worse for it

I see nothing wrong with it. Some cars just have to much power that its hard not to chirp into second or thrid.

a civic ex can chirp gears...trust me...its not the sheer amounts of power your sub 2 liter engine is putting down

 

You're beating on your tranny. I say go for it, but be ready to cry and be poor when your tranny (and other parts) need a rebuild.

 

dont be a RICER APC NO EXHAUST *** AND TRIP GEAR EVERYTIME U DRIVE!

if u do i hate u

but occasionally when racing or a solo run is ok

 

You chirped gears with your dad in your car? wtf is wrong with you?
