spoognet...

there is generally a point where electric motors no longer produce enough juice and spining them like that puts more stress on them...

I don't know the exact effects on an alternator but on an actual electric motor if you under power it or run it under it's min. turn rate it can damage if not destroy it... (I think the copper that's all spooled up starts to burn itself but again I'm not possitive)...

reversion is when the pressure already in the system is higher then a compressor is able to put out so the "backpressure" trys to spin the compressor backwards (it hardly ever happens) but it puts LOTS of stress on all the parts... It's the same sort of concept as turbo reversion if you know what that is... (if not it's why you have a bov... when the pressure on the Intake side is higher than the pressure the turbo is putting out it can seriously damage the turbo by spinning it backwards or stopping it... so the bov releases the pressure on the intake side before it can get back to the turbo.)

Shot2hell...

I'm not trying to be a d!ck but...

The time it takes for your transmission to shift is determined by the rpm and synchro design... shortening the distance your hand travels does not shorten the time it takes the tranny to shift...

It's more than possible to shift the civic tranny as fast (and faster) than the synchros allow with the stock shifter...

Short throw shifters are for feel an feel only.
