I find shifting to 2nd when I hit 3000 RPM works best for me with no jerkiness if you ease off smoothly and give some gas into 2nd.

I leave SRM on because I'm new to M/T.

i have an auto and love to paddle downshift while cruising thru parking lots b/c it makes a cool quick revving noise just as it downshifts. it makes the Z sound soooo cool.

Bringing this back from the dead because this is exactly what I did today! Heel-toe is a good skill to have I feel but not necessary these days with all the new fandangled tech!

i literally almost never use it. i might turn it on for a quick car ride once a blue moon, but 99% of the time it's off. just like my traction control is too lol

My srm is kinda wonky now with my 4.36 final drive. So I don't really use it
