You could start by trimming off a full minute from that video... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
First thing that caught my eye is that you should bring the shifter back to you. You're having to lean forward to get the car into gears 2 and 4 and that (with the clutch prob) may have a ton to do with why you're missing gears. Could be the camera lens, but I'd also like to see you get the steering wheel closer as well. You've got the "splayed out arms from the 1930s look", and that's not good for car control. Otherwise, just looks like someone being tentative while struggling with gearbox/shifter issues. |

What's with that car in front of you and the brake lights? There was a bunch of room to the next car. Bushing time?

I used to LFB all the time to warm the brakes; doesn't work well when you grab brakes instead of clutch.

I did bring the shifter lever back toward me a bit &its better now.... Still using lfb to manage tight distance at start but learned my lesson on this one. Back at Watkins Glen this weekend.... |
