Default Does anybody know how to...

Go right from 1st to 3rd to 6th?

ok fine... how about 2nd to 4th to 6th?

I'm probably the only person on the forum that can do it. I've already increased my mpg one mile after driving it thirty miles total to and from work

someone tell me how cool I am...wait...here it comes... ...nevermind I'm good

as long as your revs are high enough it's not bad...it's actually smoother than shifting from 1st to 2nd...i rev match w/ perfection

Push that left pedal with your left foot and with your right hand push the **** with the stick attached down, to the right, then immediately up again...

Start off in 6th gear and you'll really increase your mileage. No use wasting all those extra RPMs that 1st-5th eat up.

some of you guys are so lame to make bets like that...if you had any concept of the way the body and brain develop...you might hold your judgement...considering the brain doesn't stop developing until you're in your mid 20s sometimes later...which would include many people in this forum thread

Can you really tell how old someone is just by touching the screen?

I remember the first time I tried to put it in reverse. Too bad I wasn't on my350z at the time, could have started a thread about it

You lose mpg by stepping on the brakes too.

Nothing about it is really bad. It's just kinda' weird. The Z is not a car that you worry about 1 mpg in.

You rev match to up shift? Oh, and how do you go from 1st to 3rd, to 6th? Do you take the shifter out of 1st, put it in 5th, then 4th, then R, then 3rd? Or do I have that wrong? And when I read from going from 3rd to 6th, you pull the shifter out of 3rd, put it in 2nd, then R, then 5th, then 1st, then 6th. I know that has to be right.

Get over yourself. "Does anybody know how to go from 1st to 3rd, to 6th?" Wow. Every body here with a manny tranny knows how to row gears, tard.
