I'm tryin to figure out how to shift from 1st to 2nd faster. Let's say if i am in first gear up to 3k rpm...I have to let the rpm fall all the way down to like 1500rpm before engaging 2nd gear. This seems to take FOREVER for the rpms to drop low enough to engage 2nd lol. Should I try slowly releasing the clutch as the rpm is nears the desired rpm (say 1800rpm) to shave off a bit of time?

I have the 6spd+sport. Any tips?
practice. you're doing it wrong....

Don't let the revs fall. Release the clutch and get back into the throttle in one smooth motion. That's why you're upshifting -- to accelerate.

Otherwise, just continue slowing the car to a stop without upshifting. If you happen to come to a stop at a Toyota dealer, pick up a Camry while you're there.

hes probally talking about how the rpms hang for a bit. if im just cruising around i turn SRM off since it causes the rpms to hang causing a jerky shift. the gear ratio difference is pretty big between first and second.

^ THIS!!!! Thanks Spec Jay i think you're the only one who understood what i was saying. Everyone else was too busy flaming me lol :hello:.

I don't have an issue making smooth upshifts btw. I was tryin to describe what Spec Jay is saying here. It's the RPM 'hanging' up there that was annoying me lol. And ur right, I'll prolly just turn SRM off and just be done with this.

And to the forum moderators....HELP!!! I HAVE BEEN FLAMED TO DEATH!!! Quickly lock this thread so I can have time to put myself out before they pour more gasoline on me!! :ughdance:

Hey guys,

EDIT: Initial post was poor example. This thread is a focus on how the RPMs hang there for a bit after disengaging the cluth. It seems to take forever for the RPMs to fall fast enough to engage the next gear smoothly. This only seems to happen when the SRM is on. Any tips on upshifting to the next gear quicker with the SRM on?
Eat more prunes and you will shift faster!

Get an automatic

That's weird, I thought you were having issues upshifting because you forgot where your clutch pedal was

trying blipping the throttle quickly instead of slowly applying a little throttle...
