I was talking about cars with my professor a couple of days ago and he asked me if I've ever heard of California shifting. I was like
 what the hell is he talking about? Then he explained and said that theres a point in the rpm range where you can just shift without touching the clutch. He told me to try it out, but I just got the clutch replaced and scared of busting it. Maybe he was talking about them muscle cars with the slap stick.

I think he meant power shifting. I had a friend who used to own a 4th gen Celica GT-S and did this, but he pretty much killed his tranny due to forcing the shifter into gear and hearing a slight grind (probably synchos going out or something). So in other words, don't try it if your not confident with what your doing. Or better yet, don't try it at all.
