how do you shift? and when you do is it super smooth or jerky?
i never shift under 2000rpms its bad for the car i noticed when i shift at low rpm in lower gears especially 1st to 2nd its not very smooth but when i take it to 5000rpm its aLOOOOOOt better.

 

i can shift either. if someone is in the car with me, super smooth w/ a lot of clutch sliding. if no one else, jerky cuz i dont give.

 

IMHO everything should be smooth. A passenger should be barely aware that you are driving a manual transmission and not an automatic. If you had a cup of water in the cup holder, the water should stay IN the cup.

This technique is also appropriate for learning to drive at the track. Steering, braking, acceleration and shifting are deliberate and in moderation.

 

sounds like the initial D movie =D

 

yeah and try carrying a tray of tofu in the back.

 

hahaha!

 

^^^lol

I notice if I am driving normal(shifting at or a little above 2K rpm) and dont shift to fast its smooth, its when Im at low rpms 2K-2500 rpms and try to shift quick is when its a little jerky. Up in the higher rpms its smooths out nice though.

Its hard to drive the Z good enough where the passenger thinks they are in a Auto, the Z is just to sporty, quick clutch, touchy gas, loves to rev quick, the best I can do for my gf is take off slow and easy then get into gas, then ease out real slow before the shift so she doesnt move around alot.
