After the transmission was rebuilt on my '84 900 (in 1994), the mechanic said it would last longer if, when upshifting, I pushed in the clutch, brought the gearshift to neutral and waited momentarily, then shifted into gear. I started doing that, and the shifts are a lot smoother. And the tranny has lasted for the last 7 years with no problems.
The mechanic said that this momentary hesitation before going into the next gear allows the synchros to get up to speed, and the shifts are a lot less of a jolt to the transmission.
I also do this on my '91 900 and have 132K miles with the original transmission. Don't know if this style of shifting is the reason, but what the heck, it beats a multi-K$ transmission rebuild!
