California shifting??? Options

[bccentaur3]

I was talking about cars with my professor a couple of days ago and he asked me if I've ever heard of California shifting. I was like what the hell is he talking about? Then he explained and said that theres a point in the rpm range where you can just shift without touching the clutch. He told me to try it out, but I just got the clutch replaced and scared of busting it. Maybe he was talking about them muscle cars with the slap stick.

theres no point in doing that, its slowly than normaly shifting. Its just somthing you do to impress your friend really, lol...

let say you're at a constant speed and you know at what rpm your engine will be at the upshift, you just force your transmission in neutral as you release teh gas and when your engine reach that rpm, you anticipate it and slam it into gear...if done correctly it should just slip in gear.
doing it from 4 to 5 is the easiest, as they are very close to each other
