not really

 

I gotta say I really love having a 6 speed now, I don't have this "grey area" anymore. Much easier to drive.

 

Do you just wait for your RPMs to drop when you downshift then?
You probably only make it to like 3rd before you have to slam on the brakes for a red light, lol, unless you start really far back.

 

I just drive it

 

if i am already in second, and im going to slow for it. i follow these simple steps

step 1, drink beer
step 2, put clutch in
step 3, finish your beer
step 4 give it some gas while at same time putting it into 1st
step 5, open a new bottle of beer and take a sip
step 6, slowly let the clutch out
step 7, get summ head while you finish your bottle.
step 8, give it some more gas and when the hill flattens out, put it into 2nd again, and proceed as normal.


Must be 21 or older to do this how to

 

I shift when it gets to be around 1.5k-1.75k RPMs, unless I see we're stopped in a line I'll just go to 1.5k then throw it in neutral and coast.
When the traffic gets going again I drive in 1st until we stop again, sometimes being some distance, is it bad for 1st gear to drive a distance in it since its mostly a transition gear?

 

no just annoying as **** lmao

 

it was already said before on page 1. just Heel n toe downshift while your decelerating to the light. you wont have a gray area ever. you'll always be in gear and ready to just push the peddle. but you'll have to do it japan style. the stock peddles are too spaced apart compared to other cars where you normally just use the ball and outer edge of your foot.

 

Not when you have boats for feet like I do

If I try a true "heel and toe" I end up with my toes snagged on something just above the loud pedal

If I am wearing shoes with a nice flexable sole, the ball of the foot and tip of my little toe works like a charm

Rev match them downshifts people, your synchros and clutch will thank you
