How Anon?

I went from 4th to 2nd thinking it was 3rd.

Hopefully you could feel the revs as soon as your left foot moved an inch

man, you eurocucks must have literal shitboxes, all the manuals i've driven have a feature that if you're over a certain speed, it won't let you go down a gear until you lower your speed. shocking i know.

were you driving an older lambo or some shit?

sure man... sure. it shifts just fine, guess i'm terrible at explaining why it won't downshift when you're going super fast.

>>15585298
My mustang has it. It gives you some resistance depending on how fast your going and makes a whine if you're really about to fuck up.

>>15585584
Because you're not rev matching and just tearing up the brass

>>15585510
not necessarily if he didn't revmatch it should give some feedback to try and make you realize it

fucking international. pic related.

That kind of shit is my worst nightmare. A couple times I've driven a dog leg manual with a short shifter, the physical pain I felt when accidentally going from third to reverse heading to a stoplight made me want to never drive again.

Of course it didn't actually break anything because those gears didn't mesh and I didn't let out the clutch but that noise led me to believe I had not done that car a service

>>15585607
why not a sequential shifter

>Sawyer said that Cope's No. 70 had made contact with another car one or two laps before the incident, causing a vibration and brake issue on his car's right-front corner. When his brake pedal started to lose its effect, Cope indicated he was looking for a place to pull off the course.

>The contact broke the brake caliper where it attached to the spindle, Sawyer said, creating excessive heat to melt the bead on the right-front tire's inner sidewall.

>"As soon as the vehicle comes to a stop, you've got all that radiant heat and it's just sitting there at the soft point of the sidewall, which is where it basically explodes," Sawyer said.

>My second gear tops out at 65 mph, what the fuck?
I thought most transmisions were like this in order to max out that 0-60 by having one less shift.

At least that is what /o/ told me.

>>15585686
I recall racing gearboxes are sometimes laid out like that since you only really use first for starting off and you don't have to go over for 2->3 and 3->2 shifts.

That's because it's a 4 speed with a granny gear. You're not supposed to use first unless you're trying to pull out a stump.

how are people this retarded?
