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. |

Agreed. You should be in gear before you turn your wheel. Also, down shifting into 1st at 30mph is a bit excessive - yikes!

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

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. |

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.
