This might be a dumb question, but do you have any good resources or tips? My coordination is a bit lacking. | ||

Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 9,272 Member No.: 30,193 Joined: Jul 25th 2008 Location: Plymouth, MN | I'm only coordinated when strapped behind the wheel. I'm really bad at human. I think the biggest thing that helped me was learning to shift fast in general. That allows you to understand the timing between pedals and hands and that's what allowed me to really smooth things out. Being innately familiar with how the engine free-revs in the higher RPMS is useful too. The better you understand the car, the easier it will be. Basically, seat time with a focus on shifting in general. |

So, you're an alien? Sorry, had to take it out of context. Yeah, I'm hoping to trade my '06 automatic for my dad's '05 manual to daily. It has a somewhat vague clutch feel, but it's better than nothing. | ||
