I'd open the door and give you a gentle shove out at 80mph. jk.

I thought you were ramming gears without using the clutch. What you speak of here is nowhere as bad as that. Youre just flat foot shifting... nothing but wearing out the clutch in this case. Specially if you have a twin plate carbon one which engages more smoothly than a normal clutch would.

Do you DD that 350z?
