I wasn't stating that it is LITERALLY "either engaged, or not"..


just stating that there is a very finite engagement point.

Note: this point is the point in which the clutch is grabbing enough to accellerate the vehicle fully.. there is still "some" grabbing at points before this.. so shifting JUST before the engagement point, as you are doing now, is TECHNICALLY wearing on your clutch slightly faster.


Try this..


1st gear..
Accellerate to 3750 (one tick before 4K). Clutch in.. leisurely shift to neutral, then as the revs approach 3250 or so, leisurely shift to second.

Second gear.
(clutch STILL IN) As the revs approach 2600-2750ish, releash the clutch to engage in to second gear just as they hit 2700.

Perfectly smooth... less wear on the synchros because you matched the revs correctly.. this is the exact output that matches from first to second. 3750 in first = 2700 ISH in second. If you match the revs carefully, there should be NO NOTICEABLE movement when shifting..


Let me know what happens..
