Simple, its a rthyme youll find it practice this: double cluthing: clutch neutral, clutch shift. Downshifting:
Clutch neutral, accelerate clutch shift. Let me know how it works. for u make sure ur rpms are in proper range -
Does this sound right ?
Gear 1: 1-2 mph
Gear 2: 2-4 mph
Gear 3: 4-6 mph
Gear 4: 6-8 mph
Gear 5: 8-10 mph
Gear 6: 10-15 mph
Gear 7: 15-25 mph
Gear 8: 25-35 mph
Gear 9: 35-45 mph
Gear 10: 55 & Up mph -
Here is the video you asked for buddy. It ended up being a 2 part video so here are the links for part 1 and part 2. I hope this can help out some of you new guys. Keep in mind that different driving conditions will affect how this works, but in general it is the method that I found that works for me. If you guys can put it to use, very cool! I'm a fairly new driver myself only having been out here for just about 4 years. I remember how I felt when I started out so if I can help someone out then I'm glad to do it. Check it out and if it you like it, try it out! Also, I have to apologize for the shaking camera in the second part of the video. It was hard trying to keep that thing focused and steady at the same time LOL!
