"Deathgrip" =

It's not good to get a death grip on the shifter or the steering wheel. A big part of driving smoothly involves relaxing and letting it happen. "Let your fingers do the shifting" works pretty well for some people, but again, I don't want anyone trashing their motor because they miss a shift trying to emulate someone else's shifting procedures.

FWIW, the S responds well to a light touch.
