YoungCR Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 On a serious note though, you all practice better techniques on a daily basis driving synchronized transmissions. My skills really don't translate at all and hurt me initially when I jump in a manual car right away after driving the semi, I really have to focus on what I'm doing to get reorientated. Floating gears from 1500 rpm to 1200rpm to grab the next gear wouldn't even apply to driving a race car as that actually requires double-clutching because of the much broader powerband/rev rang . I'd really like to experience driving a straight-cut geared transmission in a car application though to see the differences and to hear those gears whine 😎 For anyone who hasn't watched Matt Farah's manual driving 2 part series, its a good refresher/reminder of best practices. I've always taught people to driving this way even before I watched this. Each car is different so the engagement point really is key.

Ryan... Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 I've really been practicing lately, I feel like my shifting is getting a bit smoother and I'm timing it better. I can only hope that someday I'll stop grabbing the wrong paddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
