Rooster- Without double clutching or rev matching how do you downshift?
Flick then release the accellerator, then shift. The same way my driver's education instructor and driver's training instructor taught me. I asked a bunch of guys about this at the last SCCA event, and everyone of them laughed and told me not to watch the fast and the furious. The whole reason for revmatching and doubleclutching was to mesh up the straight cut gears. Vehicles are designed now so that you don't have to do this... but if you want to, damn the engineers who built them, go for it. :thumbup:
