1) When I am in 1st/2nd in the parking lot, sometimes I have to go snail speed < 5mph and the cars starts to chug (I know it's not getting enough gas but sometimes I can't go any faster), how do I prevent this from happening?
2) When I take a corner, say I am in 4th, and I downshift to 2nd, is it okay if I hold the clutch in while I am turning? And accelerate out of the turn?
3) Can I release clutch a bit faster after 1st gear?
4) Is there an easy way to rev match? Right now I do: clutch in, change gear, rev match, slowly let clutch out + maintain gas. |
1 use the clutch
2 practice finishing your shifts down before the corner while you're still going straight
3 yes
4 gas while clutch is in and shift at the same time. Clutch in-> shift/gas blip simultaneously->clutch out
