A buddy with a C5 gave me a copy of Corvette Fever, one of the articles said that skipping a gear (5th to 3rd for example) would prematurely wear the transmission. Specifically one of the spacers or washers in the syncronizers.

Anyone heard of this and wonder if that is specific to that trans or if it would happen in my 05 Viper with a Tremec T56 transmission or my 2010 Shelby with a Tremec TR6060 transmission?

Any issues or hear of problems skipping gears when downshifting?
