I have been told by several people that I'd your box isn't built for it. It puts alot more stress on the gearbox similar effect to snapping gears in a manual all the time..

I'll try and get a vid today

I'm more or less going on about the 300+ guys with a stock box and a tune.. If it works for you brilliant and I hope it never fails I'll just be keeping it in mine until the box is rebuilt

Because daily race car

In Hp Tuners, under Torque Management you can enable and disable the Torque Module Switch which when disabled does not cut spark on gear changes hence does not produce the fart noise. SCT may allow more adjustment but with hp tuners its either on or off.

Quick gear changes are better for clutch materials if timed right and bad for the shafts. Long gear changes are bad for the clutches and kind to the shafts. This is in very simple terms that seems to apply to the zf.

Theres a little bit more to it than just turning the torque module off. Shift torque reduction can be adjusted as can shift max torque.

I have just finished working with eric from hpt to get a heap of trans/torque mgmt parameters mapped. I believe hpt now has 99% of the required trans and trq mgmt parameters needed (up to pre tcm flashing level)

Edit: I recently retuned a zf car that was previously tuned with sct and had the torque module switch off. Reenabling trq module and tuning the shift torque reduction and max shift torque has prevented the slight flare the car was experiencing on full throttle shifts.

Im not suggesting hpt is better only that even a superior product when not used to its full potential can cause issues.

The fart still comes from the exhaust though just in case anyone is not clear given the above descriptions :) WOT gear changes cause a nice fart sound on FGs hahaha. Some like it, some hate it, ignoring the mechanical arguments.
