How does this guy do money shift ?

In the dark tunnel, you can just see the gear digit displayed on the dashboard.
What did he do? Paddles can't do money shift.

At :27, he's winding out 3, yet it goes to 2 briefly, yet motor does not sound like a gear was changed.
Does that digit represent location of stick, and not actual gear? Did he fumble with almost 2, went back to 3, went again back to 2, and this time engaged it?

That looks to be a n/a 911, with a 915 gearbox, that someone boosted (gear spacing seems too close to be a 930 gearbox) and the box grenaded, as they can do when you run over 300 ftlbs of torque through them, or he misshifted 3-2 instead of 4 (pretty difficult to make the 3-2 error with a 930 box plus the car was not moving fast enough to even get out of 2nd if it's a 930).

Have to agree with you, Ron. That doesn't seem/sound nearly tall enough for a 930 gearbox. Plus, as you also noted, a 3/2 in a 930, while not exactly challenging, isn't something that one would normally expect to happen accidentally.

My vote is a 3/2 in a boosted 911 with its original 915 gearbox. The "buh-bye" moment is never far off with that combo.

It appears to be a 79 SC that the guy initially built into a 3.2 L short stroke, normally aspirated at first, then modified with some sort of aftermarket turbo set up.

I don’t think he screwed the the shift, he either grenaded the gearbox or blew the motor. He was running 9.5 compression ratio JE pistons at one point, so he probably ran too much boost on top of that.

Sounds like his wife or girlfriend was driving when it let go.

He has a small presence on the Internet, the modifications he lists for the car don’t include anything to do with the transmission, so I have no idea what that display is on the dash.

at around:30 and again at :40 you can hear her say something about "no motor, ****"

His talent as a driver was exceeded by his trying to go fast. Hopefully it is his car and not some borrowed car.

Just like driving into a barrier at the track, he was pushing beyond his abilities. He get an expensive lesson.

What he said was "I think I blew the motor, ****."

Well, you know...accidents happen, right? "Don't cry baby, please don't cry."

Why the **** would someone post that on YouTube?

That does not sound anything remotely resembling a woman's voice.

[wildthing]

I don't understand why this happens. It's straight down.

You're right, I listened again. The first couple of times, it sounded like a middle aged woman, but at the very end when the dude names his wheels "FUCH!" It's obviously a dude. I'm guessing it's Jayson.

I can see how if you were on a track really pushing, you might do it, but just going through a tunnel, it didn't seem like he was trying to shift that fast or do anything crazy.

Maybe a 915 that had some worn parts in the shifter...

[sc_rufctr]

It could have been a one off incidental failure.

[pwd72s]

5th to 2nd...probably bent valves at a minimum. I've seen it happen.

There were two people in the car.
