When you Shift

lol lets not bash on the friend. but im slowly feeling the engagement point with muscle memory and i do feel the car move slightly foward, i just had to listen to her abit instead of trying to force her to things my way. just drove up hill down hill side hill curve left curve right stop lights traffic...in the rain. lolll i had to keep telling my self not to brake but all in all it was a good experience

another question i have is when im on a uphill, i never have smooth shifts N-3....why is that any advice for that? do you even sshift into second on the hill or just goes 1-3?

or do ijust give it more has cause the rpm's fall faster?

Did I read your question right, are you saying you're skipping a gear while going uphill? I never do that, going down hill-yes.

Let's bash the friend!!! Bring out the pitchforks!!!
No but seriously, your friend has never driven a 370Z and/or is 100% wrong.
OTHER cars have a clutch pedal feel... The 370Z doesn't... At all...

Taking the spring out takes it from almost the WORST transmission to pretty good, bit clunky, but who cares? Best mod you can do on a manual.
