hey real quick questions guys/gals:

A)what does it mean when u are chirping in a gear on a manual transmission car??

b)what does it mean when u are spooling as well?

c)what does it mean to powershift?

d)what does it mean to sidestep?

thankx for the help in advance

 

Hmm ok let's see

A) Chirping is just during hard acceleration (in manual) after changing gear from 1st to 2nd (sometimes 2nd to 3rd on powerful cars) and releasing the clutch the tire will make a chirping sound.

B) Spooling is commonly used with turbo cars, the turbo spools just means it's turbine spins at a certain RPM.

C) Powershifting is changing gears (manual) without letting your foot off the gas pedal so therefore always keeping the engine in high RPM

D) Sidestep i have no idea maybe u mean heal-to-toe

 

Side stepping is :
instead of removing your left foot from the clutch pedal on a manual car you just move your foot to the left so the force of the clutch will just pop it out catching the gear faster than you can lift your leg, that's all. Hope you get what i mean

 

Can anyone with the 98-02 V6's chirp?

 

Yeah, you let your foot of the gas just before the 1-2 shift, and then SLAM it back to the floor right as it's shifting into 2nd. If you time it just right you'll get a nice chirp.

Of course, this is also a very good way to grenade your tranny, since AV6 tranny's are a little fragile to begin with, so I wouldn't do it.

 

Hey Steve, good to see you here.

I'm on the AccordV6.com board too. Don't know if you remember me, but you answered quite a few of my technical questions there.
