just my .2 cents

No need to rail on a fellow Virginia boy.

I think most of us already knew that we could shift without the clutch, but for any of the newbs out there this is a good thing to know should they ever destroy a clutch in the middle of nowhere, so this is useful information.

Applying these principles I discovered that a 6MT with syncro-rev engaged can downshift (and up-shift most times) without the clutch.

Try this.

1. from 5th gear push the clutch in.(or just pul the gear lever w/o the clutch)
2. next move the gear lever into neutral.
3. let the clutch out.
4. now without depressing the clutch push the gear lever to 4th gear.
5. Viola! The syncro-rev blips the throttle and the lever falls into 4th without needing to clutch in!

The application for this technique is shifting with a blown clutch.

Yeah but the op said its for people that know. Newbs go research... then he is confusing double clutching with clutchless shift. It makes him look stupid lmao!

Anywayyyy... if he posted some kind of link for the newbs to get the info and not try to sound like hey I'm Mr. Know sh1t... he wouldn't be gettin ragged on. I normally hate to see people gettin ragged but this one is well deserved. Lol.

The op was wanted to explain clutchless downshifting using the syncro-rev and not double clutching, so it makes sense that he didnt explain the later. I dont see anywhere that he is confusing double clutching with clutchless shifting so this makes you look stupid lmao!

Anywayyyyyyyyy... he dosent have to put a link if he dosent want to, its his thread, and if you hate people getting ragged on why are you doing it? Lol.

Clearly you do not understand the art of the double clutch. It is a technique that allows the smoothest shift possible in a manual transmission. An added bonus is that a master at this technique can drive a manual car with a blown clutch.

Please do some research on double clutching and then respond...

Read this again. He's confusing the two.



How can you double clutch with a blown clutch???
