Re: m46 transmission shifting hard 200 1986

Toe on the brake and heel on the gas or the other way around whichever is more comfortable. While braking down to the shift point, ease the trrottle back up just enough to take the load off the gear and it slides right out , continue bringing rpms up to synchronize shaft and gear, stab the clutch lightly and you're in, without tearing the heck out of the clutch and overworking the synchros. Plus braking remains uninterupted in a curve .

Takes a bit of practice, on a closed course (see disclaimer). or find an old truck driver to show you how it's done (it's real fun with a 5 into 4, i.e. 20 forward gears and 2 sticks)same action used for racing.

* warning :Don't try this at home kiddies, if you don't know what you are doing , it's a good way to smack into somebody.
