[QUOTE="ramstein, post: 10328766, member: 113596"] It has been a while since I drove manual transmission car. i have had my cobra for about 2 weeks now and still learning how to shift effectively.I know there are two popular techniques for downshifting, the heel toe and double clutch. Heel toe is more appropriate for going around the corner. but what if you need a quick passing punch? I have not mastered heel toe yet so I have been using the double clutch method. The problem with double clutch is that when I shift from 6th into neutral and blip the throttle there is a moment before i downshift into a lower gear and rpm go down lower then they should be. So I was curious what if I press the clutch first, downshift into lower gear and then while still holding the clutch blip the throttle quickly, and then release the clutch while I'm already in the gear I need. This way I can rev match much better then double clutching. Would this technique be safe/appropriate? Anybody does the same thing? Also I'd like to know what is the highest speed for downshifting into 2nd. Let's say 50mph would it be too high? [/QUOTE]
