Changing gears method - Page 3 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Problem: Car has stalled.
Solution: Purchase additional under-dash midgets.

Too funny. Nice job, but my wife is gonna be pissed when she sees the comment about the shift pattern being too complicated for women. She's been driving stick since she was 17 and turns her nose up at ATX.

You know, good technique can really minimize the bob thing. I've had a couple of instructors run me around a road course at speed and they shifted smooth as silk. And I'm talking high rpm shifting, both up and down. If you've ever ridden with a good heel-toe shifter, it's pretty amazing to watch their feet dance around like that.

Nice shifting tips! I liked the "troubleshooting" part the most. GJ
