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.

Yeah that kind of what my professor was telling me.
QUOTE small gap 100-200rpm Anyone want to try and let me know. He told me about being able to hear the engine and knowing when to shift. Its very interesting. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
