it shouldnt be that difficult to drive everyday without crunching ur gears....

it may not be your fault as a driver, ur synchromesh might be stuffed.

rev-matching should be learnt if you care about your car. its technically NOT the right way to shift down gears if you're going for your license, but it does reduce wear and tear on your drivetrain as well as making those down-shifts a million times smoother.

practise makes perfect mate

But nobody is perfect, so why practice

+1 :d

[blakee]

ok got that sorted haha

so whats ur opinion on changing gears with no clutch (perfect revs)

[vinnY]

you have a clutch pedal, use it
end of story

unless it falls off, theres no reason to not use it

lol dude..
Ur joking right..
I've done it a few times in my laser ACCIDENTALLY and its not a pretty sound.
Ur car is designed to have a clutch for a reason, its not meant to be driven close to an auto..
U wanna **** ur car up, dont use ur clutch

Sorry if what im saying is harsh but its true

So what about down shifting from like 4th to 3rd at say 80kph along with braking in order to slow down the car?

Is this bad? I do it pretty often and it's not quite a habit. I tend to down shift everytime I slow down to come to a stop according to the speed, but never anything crazy like 110kph on 3rd to 2nd.

I rev match by blipping the throttle when I downshift from 4th to 3rd at 80 km/h. No problems with clutch wear.

double clutch > rev matching

You don't want a clutch!???..get a dog box!!

No synchros, pretty much flat shift it!

you can actually change up gears without using a clutch. There is a specific rev position where it can be achieved successfully smoothly. Every gear box has a different spot. Believe it or not but it can be done with out any crunches
