the standard way of shifting:
clutch in as fast as you can
shift gears without rushing the trans
clutch out relatively quickly. the better the revs are matched the faster you can let the clutch out.

Push the clutch all the way down!

I assume neither of you has ever driven a vehicle without synchromesh - if you had, you'd know this firsthand. I suspect this is one reason so many Z owners complain about transmission problems.

I would probably hang on to the Sky if I sunk in the money for the conversion.
