In 15 years of driving hard, soft and everything in between, I have never missed a 2-3 shift and hit 5th. Never. Ever.  |

Nor have I. When you look at the shift gate in the transmission, I guess it might be possible but it would be a rarity if it were possible at all.

Yes, it is possible. After all, you can select any gear from any position, except reverse from 5th, if the trans has 5th/reverse lock out.
I have done 2-5 shifts at 70mph, just getting off it, to cruise.
I'm sure many of us do this.
But I think in the case of a TKO, it seems it does not like a harsh shift into 5th.

Yes, you can do it on purpose, but I can't see how you could do it by accident.  Alright, I'll ask... has anyone out there accidentally shifted from 2nd to 5th?  |

Well, I was thinking maybe if you were trying to power shift from 2nd into 3rd, and the shift was blocked for whatever reason, maybe you could accidently try to power shift into 5th.
Actually, in my stock '95 viper, with a stock shifter T56, yes, I have miss shifted gears at times, both upshifting and down shifting. I find with upshifting, if you push at an angle like a hurst comp +, it goes right in, rather than trying to notch it over.
Other than driving my friends superformance with 3550, don't have much experience with tremec. Have a bunch of different 4 speeds, and then T56's.

Hmmm, alright. I should really know better than to say that regarding any aspect of life on this planet: "No, it's impossible for anyone to make that mistake." |
