"And this is a good way to shift in normal driving - relax gas while slightly preloading the stick toward next gear and let it release of its own accord, then stroke the clutch as you engage the next gear."

This really sounds like you're...well...ahem...making love. I think all the boys on this board should pay attention to Quasi here. He is making a VERY good point. He continued:

"If you stay on the gas ever so slightly and add gas just as the clutch engages, it makes for very smooth, positive shifts."

This works every time. A wonderful technique. Memorize it and apply it. I ask you this on behalf of my sisters everywhere.

Quasi continued:

"My older brother taught me this technique many years ago (after I marveled out loud about his ultrasmooth, positive shifts).

Okay, no comment here.

And finally, Quasi wrote:

"He was taught the technique by his Catholic priest brother-in-law; go figure."

Yes, well, that is no shock, really.
