Going into 2nd from 3rd. Note that going into 2nd from 1st or 3rd gear has a specific hand position, different from going into 4th gear from 3rd or 5th. This is the key to this technique as your hand/brain will associate 2nd and 4th gear with different hand positions. "
Does this mean when you downshifting from 5th to 4th gear, you use the back hand method also? Since this website says the hand/brain will associate 2nd and 4th gear with different hand positions?
Thanks
How many of you guys use this method?

I was just thinking abt it, and i realized that at the track, i subconsciously do that technique for the most part. On the street is a different story though.
I think i would be shifting a little differentl if my knob sat lower than oem. (I have the skunk2)

I almost do the same, except for the middle gears my palm is on top of the stick instead of being on one side or the other. Then I push or pull depending if i'm going into 3rd or 4th.

Interesting. Ive always done something similar most positions are almost the same for me with little variations, I suppose I subconciously thought along the same line as the author of this article did, cool.

thats weird... especially 2-3. i just use my palm and push up at a slight angle towards 3rd and let the spring loaded-ness help. but thats just me
on my buddy's mustang the limp dick shifter doesn't center itself so it's a little different but it just takes a couple shifts to get used to it.
