QUOTE(synthesisdv @ Jul 13 2004, 06:40 AM) Will an improved shifter like the rennshift make the shift to 4th safer, more accurate? Ok, I'm gonna get flamed for this one - A road race is not a drag race and to me there is no need to speed shift. My rule of thumb was always two fingers and thumb on the gear shift and left foot on the clutch UNTIL I was positive that I had the correct gear. If I lost a race because of a missed shift at least I didn't have a blown motor to deal with. |
