Floating 6 speed

Yes. I float the gears here and there in my car to show people that have never heard of it.

Not if it's a synchronized transmission.

Good way to tear up the synchros.

 

You can, you shouldn't.

 

Floating a truck transmission is floating a truck transmission, no matter if it's a 6-speed, 10-speed or 18-speed, once you have the timing down, it's all the same

 

It really depends what transmission it is. You can give it a try. If it's difficult to find the gears or it "rubs," I wouldn't do it.

 

It depends on the trans, I have a six speed from an M102 sitting in my shop (don't ask how it got there, I can't figure it out) and it is a fully syncro trans according to the model number.

 

I'm with the other post. try it if it don't work don't do it. IF it works, go with it. Theoretically it saves wear on the clutch and clutch brake. From experience it saves wear & tear on left leg.

 

No, if you have a synchronized transmission it may go smoothly but you could be tearing up the synchros.

Don't float a synchronized transmission.
