[QUOTE="mx_9, post: 1003170, member: 13431"] I ran in an autocross event this past weekend where we had instructors in the car with us. I was told that I need to smooth out my shifting into second gear. I figure that you folks would probably be able to best advise on smooth speed shifting. Unfortunately, the search function is down.. What I've been doing is this: Top out first gear Let off gas Push in clutch Push shift handle down to 2nd Drop the clutch Floor the gas pedal I do this in probably .3-.4 seconds. I realize that you guys have traction issues in 2nd gear which I don't have but I'm hoping some of you racers can provide some insight as to what I'm doing wrong. I suspect that it's the clutch drop after I'm in gear but I don't know how to let it out without wasting precious time. Thanks, Chris [/QUOTE]
