Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - shifting gear problems. burning the clutch?

res0zsfa · 04-29-2010, 02:04 AM

Hey guys the 370z is my first manual car and I had some questions. Sometimes in the city I speed up to 5k or higher rpms going from 2nd to 3rd cuz some1 is on my ***. I was wondering, if I speed up to 5k, push in the clutch, shift to 3rd, can I drop the clutch slowly? Or will I be burning the clutch? and btw, I don't want to be speeding up anymore on 3rd gear. Any help would be great.
