Proshifted T-5/tremec?
 
with a proshifted trans can you still use the clutch to slow everything down inside the trans so you dont have to chirp into every gear. i want to go proshifted but i dont know if i will lose all street driveability. can i just proshift 2-3 or 3-4?

You can proshift just 2-3....may contact Jeff Chambers...some of his cronies did this in Trophy Stock class.

DON"T DO IT!!!!!!! I had a proshifted TKO II and it was a b!tch to drive on the street. I bought it thinking that I could just baby it around town, but it turned out to be hell. I drove my car next to none because of that trans for a whole season:( It will take all if the fun out of it if you plan on going out on cruise nights.

Now on the strip it rules all. I got one pass with it before I blew the rearend and it was a dream down the strip. That is it though its for the STRIP and STRIP only.

Go with a regular TKO and you will be happy:)

i have a 3550 with pro 5.0, but i dont know how well its going to work with my combo, would it be safe just to pro shift 2-3, and if i do that 1-2 and 3-4 will work just as they did before right?

Pro shifting will not add any strength if thats what you are asking. I herd of people just doing a couple of gears but that will not change the fact that it still will suck on the street.

This is a good way to look at it... Drive your car with out using the clutch AT ALL. If you can up and down shift without any grinding or other terrible noises, and still be able to have the same fun with using the clutch then go proshifted. If it is a pain and causes you to drive like grandma (which it will) stay with the syncros. Trust me.

If this car is for the strip only proshifted is the way to go.
