Skip a gear?

ayrton88 · 06-15-2012, 08:27 AM

I never skip gears on the upshift, but often when downshifting. I also still like to heel and toe myself and not use the auto rev match feature.

i even tried shifting into Reverse on the expressway when driving my old honda fit thinking it had a 6th gear.

or as i call it, every single time i drive my volvo after getting outta my z

hopping back from 5 to 6 speeds can get tricky. sometimes i forget the Z has 6

I missed a shift at the track, where I went from second to fifth. Oops. Then to third. I do not make a habit of this.

I always skip gears, but only because I live my life a quarter mile at a time. I don't granny shift, I double clutch like I should. Don't wanna fry my piston rings you know...
