It is darn dangerous. I have found even in stock configuration, that any moisture or debris on the road will cause an abrupt loss of traction at this shift point. I turned a corner two days ago and stepped on it and there was a lot of dirt/sand in that intersection and the car broke completely loose at that shift. The engine will wrap so fast that it can be hard to control. I really think the FD is less controllable than alot of other cars I have driven, mostly because it is light and requires a much faster reaction time....either that or I am getting older and slower. Either way, the result is the same.

. . . . . stay out of boost and this problem doesn't happen.

Well thanks for the help guys. I am not driving on ice or rain, but I do like the effect of it kicking out, almost crashed it earlier today though. I just can't let my mom drive it and I'll be fine. Is there a special kind of fluid I should be putting in, or just take it to a shop and have them put whatever in?

Just normal dextron trainy fluid should do the work

normal trnny fluid will weork but i recomend a high level synthetic also go with the cooler one of the guys sugested i had to get one when i hanged my radiator i went with a fluidine 6 pass it works great you still have the little kick but as long as you dont have the turbos spooled and no boost going you will not jerk the tires. if you get used to it you can time it out and realy turn some heads buy doing it on purpose.
