it's a shift that ends up costing you a lot of money. | | | | | 06-23-2008, 03:47 AM | #19 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

A money shift happens after 2nd gear, redlining and by mistake dowshifting instead of going to the next gear. This usually happens when you are racing or just plain being stupid and it ends up costing a new engine or an overhaul. | | | | | 06-23-2008, 08:46 AM | #21 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Antelope Valley, CA Posts: 55 |

I really hate to ruin a sale for someone, but I'm just not comfortable with that car. __________________ ...steven

LMAO, I was just going to post a link to the swap thread he did, that should be good enough. He would ruin it from there. __________________ No trunk for the Junk | | | | | 06-23-2008, 02:11 PM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 |

I put my hand on the shifter upside down when going from 3rd to 4th so that I'm putting pressure towards the passenger side of the car. No way to miss and hit second then. | | | | | 06-23-2008, 02:19 PM | #26 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Ferndale, MD Posts: 462 |
I did do a money shift once and caught it fast. Wasn't racing, just down shifting, instead of 4th I hit 2nd. My rear wheels locked up and within the blink of an eye I was out of gear. My heart was pounding but it was all good, live and learn. __________________ No trunk for the Junk | | | | | 06-23-2008, 02:56 PM | #27 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
I've had two or three close calls to money shifts.
All at the track. __________________ ...steven

I wouldn't buy that ti from that kid. Too many questionable things and read he messed it up before. You can buy it and do lots of work on fixing it up. Another reason is he disrespected Steven on bfc so that is a no no in my eye. He gives us ti owners a bad rep! | | | | | 06-23-2008, 04:21 PM | #30 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 |
It could be the most flawless swap in the world and with an attitude like that I wouldn't deal with the guy. That's just me though. | | | | | |
