it's clutch in! blip ! down shift ! clutch out !

the reason we did it, was if you have ever driven an old HGV with a "crash " gear box , The blip of the throttle. A. brings up engine speed with the gear box speed Thus negating the shift!
road speed can alter this so if you get it all syncronized you can actualy down shift without using the clutch!!!!

What are you changing down for? I want go faster, not slower!!

Tp that was known as "Double De Clutch" still used today on some big trucks!

but most are no syncro boxes;)

not sure what the proper reason for it is, but i do it to stop the back wheel working too hard against the engine. It can be good fun when you're playing about on the track getting the back to drift sideways into a corner but when I'm hard on the brakes in a straight line i'd rather not encourage the tyre to loose tractiona and waggle about!

Very tricky going down the box without the clutch... something i don't care to get to grips with, it just seems a bit abbusive!

save me a spot in the gravel trap matey!! :lol:

I drove that old Mack truck around on exercise for about two weeks, I had a left leg like the Governor of California after that!

I was planning on using you as the brake/block pass object mate.

Nothing personal you understand ... :devil:

A quickshifter aint realy rocket science!

it just cuts the ignition milli second and unloads drive thus negating the gear !

set up is very important thou as not to blow gear box to bits :D:D

When I go Clutch in, Blip, gear down, its so smooth but "Twist of the Wrist" says the bit about engine speed and recomends Clutch in, gear down, blip, clutch out......when I do this it no so smooth.

Thanks Bill O !!!
I rest my case :smug:
