hahahha oh cmonnn it wasnt that bad Mike

the clutch blew and jammed the pressure plate with enough crap that it was stuck engaged, so it stalled any time I slowed down. to get going I just cranked the key, the starter would move the car a few feet until it fired up and then I went on clutchless shifting until I had to stop again haha. I know it's absolutely awful for it but I was so close to home and figured I'd rather kill the 100k mile starter and put the $75 I would've spend on the tow towards a new one.

What exactly is "blending?"

if in first and accelerating ease off the gas and pull on shifter lightly towards 2nd. it will slide in gear when it engine drops to correct rpm, continue same through all gears.
Downshifting.... example in 4th, as you let off gas, pull shifter out of gear, tap the gas to brings rpms up as your doing this push lightly towards 3rd. and it will slide in at corrct rpms.
its really easy, just get a knack for it after a while.

if you want to go clutchless while racing, than extensive work should be done such as faceplating, gear,synchro & blocker ring modifications.

I did that this morning on my way to work for every 1-2 and 5-6 upshift. Works like a charm, thanks. Didn't try the downshift yet.


I'll check out that youtube video later because I can't see them at work...

We're talking about the 4 cylinder Jeep here, not the hot rod.

Adam - this is why I only shop for automatic XJs.....don't wanna deal with wet muddy clutches.
