You're just matching the revs with the lower gear. Because the engine will be revving higher fo a given road speed, you just give the throttle a quick 'blip' to get the revs up. Simple sequence is clutch in, blip, clutch out. Works a treat. The next stage is being able to use two fingers on the brake and keep a constant brake pressure going while you blip with your other fingers. Harder work but fantastic when you've cracked it |
