But I haven't got the guts yet to say "dude let me teach you how to downshift". Maybe I should recommend him an automatic.
Nope you def need to intervine because he needs to know how to match his revs to his shifts. By now he should be able to hear or feel it. I always try for a perfect shift when I drive. Up or down I try to get into correct revs and anyone driving a stick should. Help your neighbor
