Hi guys. i came across "Clutchless shifting" in a racing article somwhere, i forgot where. but i'm wondering WHen is the most advantageous time and place (your personal opinions) to do this on a track? (ie. types of corners) and is it bad for any of the components of the car?
This is how i learned it and do it from time to time:
-say you're on 4th gear, you're gettin near a corner
-pull the shifter out w/o pressing on the clutch
-put the shifter close to the gear u want, say 3rd gear (this is when it grinds and makes a horrible sound if u put it too close)
-rev match
-right when u rev match (and have reached the right rev) the shifter should be sucked into the gear a bit
-you ease the shifter in as it is pulled in and bam! you're in your target gear w/o ever touching the clutch.
Or am i just nuts for doin this?
