when I used to be into RSX's before, I remember coming across a media thread that had a video with clutchless shifting
out of nowhere, I asked my friend about clutchless shifting.. he told me, it kinda takes practice and its less wear-out for your clutch and stuff.. now that Ive heard the positive things about it, I was wondering if there were bad things about it... if theres like 2 things that are bad about clutchless shifting, then I wont trip about it.. but if it comes to more than 3+up then Ima have to break the habit of it.. so 6gc fam, what would it be?? YE -or- NAY on clutchless shifting (I'd rather not base this on polls because I like my information straight to the facts) -------------------- |
