Re: Synchromesh and rev-hang
yes but what me and THC are saying is that its more abuse on the clutch because when the revs are higher than wanted and you let the clutch up, instead of forcing the car to slow down, its forcing the car to speed up, which in my mind would equal more wear only if you're still on the throttle when ...

Re: Synchromesh and rev-hang
ok, i didn't read all the back and forth about rev matching high or low, but here's the deal: standard rev match you blip and release the throttle. if you have revved a bit too high, the revs are free falling, no power is being made. the revs are already approaching your target on their own, already...

Re: New driver, need some help?
welcome to the site. :) i haven't read all the replies b/c they are quite long. the only thing i wanted to point out is that there is a difference between letting the clutch out too slowly and taking too long to let it out. from the OP it sounds to me like you are taking a long time to shift, and by...

Re: Another Day, Another Idiot Driver (Misc Thread for Stories)
that pisses me off too. where i see it the most is at this particular light where 2 lanes open up to 3 a little before the light, and go back to 2 a little after the light. many times i'll be coming up in the newly opened right lane, heading to the red light to be the first car. then the 2nd car in ...

Re: clutchless shifting
I mean, Ive definately timed it perfectly in the past, but how to do you expect to do this repeatedly? Guess that it might go into the next gear? The method ive described is what most do if the need be. I don't really see any other accurate way of doing it. I have done both and would feel that by s...
