Good looking machine!

About that chip thing ....... it may not do any good ....... but then again, it may not hurt anything.

For shifting, you may consider this technique:

Remember, a warmer transmission is a happier transmission.

I would suggest that when shifting, wind up the last gear pretty tight (4-5,000 rpms) before shifting into the next higher gear.

Also, when shifting, pull (or push) the shift lever slowly and firmly into the next gear.

It's not a toggle switch ..... the lever is moving heavy transmission parts.

I suggest you NOT "lazy leg" it ……. do push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.


Happy travels!
