If It's not coming out really bad and you can find where the tear is to keep adding grease you'd probably be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it though.

[quote='[ion] C2;642142']I'll probably wait until I get the 5-speed and learn to race it or fly spyhunter up here to race it haha. My auto trans slips under load and I expect it to blow up when I launch with slicks. I drove 3 people around today weighing the car down and the trans stuttered sometimes even on slow takeoffs.[/QUOte
Are you going to get launch control or anti lag when you get the five speed.

Would be cool, but as it is I reach full boost at 2500 RPM, shouldn't be a problem. I might do a 2-step. I really have limited experience with manual transmissions.

Best way to launch in a stick and get traction is to slip the clutch. Basically you rev up to desired RPM, dump the clutch, the push it back in about half way, maybe a little less, you'll have to play with it a little. You'll get traction and launch really hard.
My cousin showed me that neat little trick in his ranger.

Hmm....I can see that working on a solid axle, but I'd be very worried that halfshafts (or CV joints) would break using that technique. |

I thought about that too, but either way with enough power I would think the would be in need of some upgrading.
What have you found that works good in your Alero? |

2nd to 3rd can be the most complicated quick shift, ill be honest ive missed a couple of times. But havent in the past couple months.
Also, i dont downshift unless i really need to. Like coming up to a stop, leave it in gear till rpms drop to like 1200 or so, clutch in and stop. Remember brakes are cheaper/easier job then a clutch.
