so after i shift to 3rd, and i want to take it easy at 50mph, i just shift to 4th and 5th very quickly?

 

I know your trying to help, but you havnt been here for very long and giving the wrong advice isn't a good idea. Skipping gear's on an up shift is very bad for the syncros...

 

Then you're okay -- assuming that, during the "clutch out with tranny in neutral" part of the double clutch, you let the revs drop all the way down where they need to be for the gear you're skipping to.

Double-clutch skip shift:
1. Clutch in.
2. Move shifter into neutral.
3. Clutch out.
4. Wait for revs to drop.
5. Clutch in.
6. Shift to 5th (or 6th or whatever gear you're skipping to).
7. Clutch out.

Or, instead of skip shifting, you can just quickly shift up through the gears, snick-snick-snick.

 

Yep. That's what I do.

 

While 3rd gear vtec blasts are quite fun, it has been my experience that they are not always appreciated by law enforcement officials.

 

My problem is that I often make very short answers.

Sometimes I get lazy, so I shift up from 2 to 4 and from 4 to 6 gear. But I do this at 3k - 4k rpm and shifting slowly and softly. I think this kind of shifting is not bad.

Good syncro teeth:


Bad syncro teeth (Squared off teeth) as a result of skip shifting and grinding:

 

I think you labeled the pics backwards

 

You are so correct. Here is the complete thread from which this topic was discussed.

I'll go back and correct my labelling.

ps. Only 3 days on here and sharp as tack.
