noob shifting
So its been a long time since I have driven a stick and I was wondering if there is a good shift point for speed shifting (ie. shifting without using the clutch) in the 2007 350z.

before you speed shift all 350z's require a new torque converter, the stock slips when engaing at high rpms, therefore preventing you from speed shifting. Get a new torque converter in your z, youll be good. Also make sure you get the one for the manual transmission, common mistake. If you cant afford it just pull out the converter fuse(15amp) i believe, and youll be good for now(pulling the fuse disables it). Dont let the guys on here get you, some will give you wrong info on purpose and act like douches. Anyways good luck dude, welcome to the forum

Unless you feel like replacing the trans, just use the clutch. Also speed/slam shifting with the clutch a Z will require you to replace the trans faster than needed.

shifting without the clutch should be used in emergency situations only! (such as the deadpedal coming off and gettign lodged under the clutch, true story) or unless your a trucker in a company truck with a very heavy clutch. its good to know bad to use. listen to everyone else clutch is there for a reason.

wow flame fest as expected. the reason I ask had nothing to do with racing. I just hear about it being done in my dads malbu that had a 3 on the floor. he clamed he never used his clutch during daily driving. I had never heard of it....so I thought I'd ask.
