Lately i have been hearing about being able to shift gears with out using the clutch, there is a certin rpm or somethin u can do it at. when i first heard this, i said bull**** and didn't think about it, but i've heard 2-3 more people mention this, anyone heard anything about it, is it possible with our cars?

For match rev downshifting you start for example in 4th, put and keep clutch in, go into 3rd, rev up the engine, let out the clutch. If done right you wont get it to jerk. I use heel-toe in my daily driving now becuase it saves the brakes from a bit more use. The engine does like RPM's so there is no real danger of harming the engine.

^^^^^ Heal-Toe... You use your right foot for gas and brake at the same time heal on brake and toe for the gas. You kinda have to find a position that is comfortable for you and can reach both pedals at the same time. And by the way latinkraze I don't know if its just my big feet but I don't have a problem with our pedals, its kinda hard to get used to and awkward at first but its fun smile.gif
