That extra shift just before 60 keeps the time down. I think if you didn’t had to shift there, you could’ve hit it in about 5
Yeah probably so. FYI I didn’t mean that video to represent a 0-60 run the launch was gentle and I was watching the camera trying to keep it framed not watching my tach for shift points. The car is a little faster than that to me it seems to time about the same as when I had the 3 stage and 3.73, like 5.3-5.4 or so 0-60 on my best runs. I have another video that was maybe a little faster where I was trying to time a run but he video is not framed right the speedo moves out of the frame for part of the run and my shift knob popped off when I banged 2nd... that wasn’t going to stop me I grabbed the bare shift rod and kept going... when I shifted to 3rd something felt weird and then the shift rod assembly went all limp and loose and wobbly.

Car is in neutral and 1/2 mile from home luckily. Gonna tow it home with my Jeep now anyone ever broken a shift linkage?
