Garage
OKAY Hey everybody, Yoyu all really do not seem to know what the hell you are talking about. I have proof. Research STORZ garage first okay, so that way you knowthe info is oming from a well reputed source. 2nd, I JUST PAID $ 4,200 to rebuild my tranny, replace my roll pin, clutch, and SEVERAL other componets.

THE EXACT STATEMENT from Storz garage is do NOT take 1st gear past 3500 RPM on my 1979 911 SC. And best to shift at 3000. MY CAR IS STOCK so lets get that out there. (some updates like chain tensioner, pop off, etc...) Beyond 1st gear the redline is fine fior shifting, but the 1st gear is short and that is the fact.
if you race your car and can work on them easy enougfh and drop out the motors to rebuild your trannys than that is awesome for you. but for the regular guy that cannot really do this, the shop repairs costs do not outweigh the exhileration of hitting 50 in 1st gear-OK?
Second, the strain of pushing in the clutch WILL wear out your parts faster than if you did not hold it in while waiting a ful minute or more for the light. MILT you know what I am talking about, I just am drawing a blank on the names of the parts help me out here.
Tis info is a TIP, it WILL make the componets last longer and anyone that says different is actuially just factually wrong. I'm not digging at you guys, I know some of you have loads and loads more experience, i'm just trying to save somone fron going through what i just did. I mean it was pretty frusrating to drop thousands on my body kits to have a mecahnical failure 2 days later. and i DID get a PPI the guy just lied!
FIRST GEAR IS NOT REDLINE-3000-4000 RPMS. rARELY MAYBE IT IS OKAY, BUT not the standard
PS THANK YOU TYSON, THAT IS BETTER EXPLAINED!
