I still blow a shift from time to time with nearly 60k miles on this car, 99% driven by me. No shame in it, hell I stalled it pulling into my driveway sometime in the past week, almost forgot it had happened. |

Different situations end up needing to be handled slightly differently. It's not a big deal after you've learned but while learning it can be a pain, or at least it was for me. |

Was hard for me too to drive AT (w/o manual shift) after MT all life long. Simply didn't felt being in control. Clutch-heavy left foot braked too abruptly (which causes problem now too, when i'm learning left-foot braking for track use), no used-to engine braking to simplify keeping intervals in traffic, tranny unexpectedly down-shifting (or not) resulting in acceleration changes at unexpected times when floored. I'm sure, after some longer getting used to, i'd adjust my die-hard habits, learn left foot braking be less heavy, get in habits how accel work quickness correlates to down-shifts, but after that brief time, loved to get out of it and then feeling enlightenment drive honest-MT again. Humans are slaves to habits.

Didn't any of you guys power shift before? I have a few times in this car and was scary and fun at the same time. Here's a sample of someone else doing it. I think if you do it a few times it will be okay. Just be wary that a really bad mis shift can grenade the important parts of the tranny.

Heck, the goal is to time everything so perfectly you don't need the clutch. When I mess it up on course, I usually end up a wee bit sideways... So that slight lift on the accelerator always happens, it's just a question of when.

You said it so I don't have to... when your Rpms are dropping mid shift, leave it in neutral (double clutch) give it some gas while in neutral (rev match) and throw it In Gear. You'll notice the bite and smoother transition into gear, watch YouTube videos on rev matching and double clutching, the two are like the ying and yang the two go hand in hand. It's hard to explain double clutching and rev matching through text tho haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Double de-clutching on non-synco gears. You don't need to double de-clutch on modern cars but you need to bring the revs up to match the gear hence race drivers brake and same blip throttle to ensure that the lower gear comes in without locking or upsetting the car balance. |
