this is a simple question... when you are downshifting, whether it be heel-toe or just normal, do you blip the throttle in two consecutive presses, or one larger, longer press?

trying to see what people do because i'm used to super-sensitive one-blip on my BBK TB which i basically learned downshifting on, and since i'm going back to stock i would like to see if it's really better to do two consecutive.

 

rev that ish

 

None. I hate my clutch. I just put it in gear and feather the clutch out.

 

depends whether i hit it right 1st go, if not, you gotta go for the second one.

practice makes perfect! so yeah, hit it once, and hit it right

t..

 

I rev it all the way back up to 9500 so the car takes off again... hehe j/k... But yea I normally just do a longer bleap... I dunno it just seems weird to do two.. Laterz

 

I have a shitty broke *** tranny and a 6 puck unsprung clutch. It takes finess to drive my car smoothly and it depends on load, mph, and gear selection for which method I use, but I do both.

 

well im asking partly because my friend (who's on HT) does two when heel-toe'ing (he doesn't downshift at stops).

 

Darn tootin'!

One blip usually for me. As you get better and more efficient, hopefully you can reduce the "length" of your blip. My "blips" are still kinda on the long side I think.

Of course, a missed shift will require a recovery blip, and a missed corner due to a missed shift and subsequent recovery blip(s) will require a recovery car (i.e. tow-truck).

 

example of what I do:

80 in third... brake to 50
hit clutch put in neutral
rev to 6K
press clutch and engage second

enjoy the less work the layshaft has to do the better.

 

In in the same situation you are in. damn 6 puck with a jacked up tranny makes me look like a noob driving

 

that's besides the point...

i just wanna know how you press the pedal =P

 

not too quick, just fast enough for the many=uver not the same every time,
its a feel thing as you well know

 

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that hates my 6-puck clutch (it's no longer in my car)

one blip for each gear I'm going down..
