Least fav: Reverse, upshifts that are below 4500 rpms

Fav: Any downshifts. the most used is 4-3 and my favority one is when cornering, rev matching on a 3-2 shift is very satisfying.

4-3 happens alot. It's probably the most used shifting I do when driving around town. 3rd gear is very usefull...this is with 4.56 gears

Seriously. WTH? Shifting is a second nature, non-thinking experience... kinda like breathing.

Least favorite 1-2
Most annoying 2-1
Most embarrasing 2-3 during long fast sweeper, side g's made me hit 5th instead, doh!

they're all fun. i'd say downshifts are the most fun because rev matching with a tightened throttle cable is so satisfying.

1-2 by far. I have to finesse this when the tranny is cold, otherwise bunches of crunches. I've never had a manual that was this finicky about the 1-2 shift.
