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 confused.gif 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 had an 84 honda accord hatch 5 speed and i could do it all day long...doesnt really have to be reved high unless your racing i guess...i could do it normally....pulling it out of gear wasnt hard at all espically in 3rd for some reaosn but putting it back in or shifting it up another gear you just had to rev it a little and gently push on the stick untill it goes it...its fun caus you dont have to touch the clutch but like everyone says its bad for your trans.....i wouldnt recomend revin it up and ramin it into gear with out pushin the clutch in unless you want to say bye bye tranny laugh.gif
