what about down shifting...my friend has been showing me this all week.

you push the clutch in...get the car into nutral .. rev..go into gear.

You put the clutch in again to move the car from neutral into the lower gear though, right?

I do that sometimes...I really need to learn to heel-toe brake once I can get a wider gas pedal.

i practise heel toe in my wrx, pedals are good for it, except i just move my foot over and hit both pedals, i cant actually use my heel and toe, lol

it really does make a huge difference.

I just downshift and slowly let off the clutch..the car doesn't jerk or anything..I use that instead of brakes a lot. 


Just to let you know that wears down you clutch disk like no other. If you don't want to change your clutch every 25,000-30,000 miles I would suggest the match rev method


Yea. Or, better yet, just use your brakes. They are designed as wear parts to slow you down.

Yep brakes are cheaper than transmission's which would you rather replace. Any ASE Trans class will tell you downshifting is bad. Unless you got a race car (which i have yet to see from anyone here 3sgte included) drive it normally it will treat you better in the long run.

There's a company who produces Sequential Shifters . It does exactly what you just said, but without harming your tranny.


i think this company makes transmition like my friends evo 7. shift up always pullin shift back, and shiftin down allways pushing shift forward. like in pictures, but you need to use clutch when shifting.

It's shocking, seeing how many people don't rev-match their shifts. I do everyday, to every stop. I also brake in the 3 to 2 shift

I blew my clutch once and I had to drive an hour to get home.Every time I came to a stop light I had to shut the car off and then put it in first.When the light went greenI would start the car it would go right away then I would rev till 4000 then I woul let off the gas and it would go in at 3500 rpm.To down shift you rev up and it should just go in !!!I know I didnt even grind once!

i've yet to understand the concept of heel-toe. if i'm having fun on a curvy road i just let off the gas, push the clutch in and shift into the gear i'm going to need to be in coming out of the turn. then i brake to a reasonable speed, rev-match, and let the clutch back out.
