What is the trick behind shifting without the clutch? has anyone done that b4? I have seen it and dunno how to do it.....
I would like to learn this technique if anyone is willing to share the info...

And what is the whole truth behind double clutching.....what is it n e ways......is it rpm matching??

 

REV to 8-9k RPM's and yank the shifter back to second, yep that's about it.

 

Wow, you are getting a lot of love quickly.

When you are going along (slowly) on a road, try moving the shifter out of gear w/out the clutch (and go ahead and get off the throttle too). With the gear selector in neutral, place a teeny-tiny amount of pressure on the shifter to the next gear up (or down) and blip the throttle. As the revs fall, you'll notice the gear shifter go into the gear (when the revs match). At least that's how I learned to do it some 16 years ago.

 

Not much point to shifting without the clutch, unless you have a racing tranny with dog gears. Not much point to double clutching either, if your gearbox works OK. Look here http://www.turnfast.com/tech_driving..._heeltoe.lasso for good info on heel & toe and rev matching.

What type of organized competition were you going to use this in, anyway?

 

I used this method when I was first learning to drive (a Land rover with a messed up clutch)

I don't know why you would want to use i if you didn't have to though.

I found it rather helpful knowledge when I snapped a clutch cable in the middle of a practice session 8 turns from pit lane.

... and I like practicing LFB while downshifting too

 

that's because you are a WILD & CRAZY GUY!

 

Then don't be cheap and get a pnumatically controlled sequential gearbox like everybody else!!

 

pneumonia squishy whatever isn't legal in IT.

 

I'm gonna start docking points for all you n00b users who cant manage to post a competition related topic.
