Miss-Shifting

[fahad_600]

chances of miss-shifting in a manual trans, is it higher with a stock shifter or with a short throw one ?

depends if you suck at shifting or not....

what the? lol

there are only 5 directions to move the gear stick dude. after you move the stick into neutral:

you want gear 1? then you push the stick to the top left.

you want gear 2 push it down left.

to get into gear 3 you push up.

gear 4? you pull down.

gear 5? you push to the top right.

simple...i tried teaching my friend to drive manual...i tell him the above points and he still goes from 1st to 4th...i tell him you gotta push the stick in the right direction.

the only manual car i drive is a toyota hiace van. and the transmission is stock and the gear stick is not that good but if i concentrate enough i can shift pretty fast.

Aparently you have never been to a track

I believe my question was clear, but don't know what you were thinking,

I am talking about WOT shifting, were people accidently miss-shift.

What about Mister-Shifting? I don't know about you but I don't think you want throw Miss-Shifting anywhere if he's around.

Seriously though. The main point of a short shifter is for speed of shifting. However I would think it would be easier to mis-shift with a shorter throw because all your shift points are closer together.

Yep he is right on that its is easier.....my bro's GTi is like that with his short shifter yeah it faster but when you are racing it kinda sucks lol...but i suck at stick lol....Do what RacerHex did and get an evo8 shifter...the thing is a click!
