What is SRM? Not familiar with that abreviation.
To give you guys the exact scenario i go through every day driving home; my street is off of a highway at which i am going 55 to 60 mph, before i get to the turn, i engage the clutch, put it in 3rd, start braking and when i make the turn begin to release the clutch and continue on my way. Well when i shift into 3rd it feels like there is a massive wall |

So you can either not shift into 2nd at 60/1st at 30, or you can double clutch and rev match to assist the synchros and avoid excessive wear, or you can wear out your synchros, it's up to you. :tup: |

I have the nav model, not sport, sorry i didnt clarify that. So i dont have SRM.
In my first post i wasnt really thinking, and was just generalizing, i never use first unless i am starting off. To make it clear i am basically just asking if down shifting hurts the clutch and flywheel? |

The worst thing you can do for your clutch is depressing it slowly to go into gear. You want the clutch and fly wheel to have a quick and almost immidiate contact at the lowest possible RPM to avoid added wear. The more practice the better you become and the feeling will almost replicate the smoothness of an automatic. :)
High RPMs shifting and downshifting will prematurely wear the clutch regardless whether or not you rev match. |
Granny shifting. Not double clutching like you should. http://becauseracecar.org/wp-content...NG-650x432.jpg

perhaps he means riding the clutch

This is what I usually do on sharp turns. The thing I don't like about it is I can't accelerate right away after that. |
brake and rev-match downshift to 2nd while straight (setting up for the turn), turn with partial throttle open, once you're through of the apex, open it up.
guys, you are scaring me... you dont know how to drive MT and bought a sports car?!!! :facepalm: |

But yeah, I learned to drive MT on this car so there are lots of things I still need to learn. |
