request.
 

Hi,

I wanted to request all the expert drivers out there... to do a write up on best methods for smooth shifting.....

maybe this can become a sticky ? if we get a good write up. I learned to drive a stick late last year but its completely different form the z and my shifting in the Z is not smooth most of the times when driving on inside roads. I know its not because of the Z i just need more practice but if ppl had any tips / advice that would be great I think...

Thanks,

Just drive the car man. Don't slip the clutch, it is not a huge difficult method to operating a manual transmission smoothly. Shift points play into the factor too, being lower in the RPM band it is smoother. But you said it best your self with your last sentence...practice

:iagree:

It really just takes practice. There's a thread in the general forums now that touches on shifting tips, but it's really hard to put into words how to work your hand/foot in a way that best suits your car and your driving methods.

Practice and your body will learn itself how to drive with little error.

Just drive, best advice I can give

First, turn the VDC off.

Sorry, that's just cruel.

don't spill the gasoline in here? :bowrofl:

This. Period. Practice and muscle memory can work wonders.

I remember what my muscles looked like but its not helping now in my older age.
