***Maybe if you tried depressing the clutch PRIOR to shifting?Shit, I mean shift, I shall try it tomorrow. Sounds like a good idea.
***I've found that it helps to release the gas pedal during that shifting procedure as well
Now you are pushing it. You mean I need to do ALL THIS?
***Of course, that's just MY experience....your mileage may vary.
Mine does indeed. Well, you can't win them all...
***Oh, and that red area on the tach is NOT the recommended shift range....
Not with Dinan. It moves the rev limiter to 7000 and eliminates the red zone.
Oh, that joy of 6500rpm gear shifts!
Unfortunately I routinely hit the rev limiter in the second and that is not pleasant. It is all the engine's fault, it is so smooth you don't really feel getting there.
Next you are going to tell me it is wrong to drop the clutch at 5000. That can't be right, those cool guys at Car and Driver do it all the time. Man, that's life...
