Does this work on our cars? Im too scared to try
A friend of mine told me you could do this...
but he has a mini
and I noticed this guy is also driving a mini
so maybe it's just a mini thing,
but can/do ours do this too? Is it a regualr transmition thing?

its highly not recommended. learning your car and making mastering rev matching is extremely needed. also with our transmissions it puts a fair amount of stress on the syncro's. so short answer you can but its not recommend.

Well in a semi you only need the clutch to take off and downshift.I did it in my s-10 and balt cause I was too lazy to pick my left foot up at the moment haha.I rarely do it in the balt seeing im on the 3rd transmission

You'll probably do it anyway because you probably know more than anybody on this forum, but...
Yeah don't clutchless shift on a transmission with gear synchronisers. Semi drivers get away with it because their transmissions aren't synchronised.

PITA on these cars with the computer controlled throttle - very hard to get the rev match just right.
Like someone else pointed out - you only have to miss it once to make your tranny hate you

I traded in my '93 Shadow for my balt Mine was an automatic though.
That was a really good car, just started brakeing faster then I cold fix it.
If Id have had the garage space, id have kept it.
I still have the Haynes and Chiltons for it..
Want them?
