How is my shifting? (With video)

Post by much2much »

I've been driving a manual for some time now, but don't shift at rpms higher than 3k very often. In the video below I quickly shifted at higher rpms through two gears. I was wondering if my technique is acceptable or if it may be slightly off due to what I perceived as the clutch grabbing harshly after shifts. Thanks for the feedback!

All we can get out of that is sound, the video doesn't show hands/feet/tachometer, but it sounds ok to me. I'd want to complete the entire shift and clutch work faster though.
