don’t shift with out the clutch because its not going to work. well you only need to push the clutch in so it releases to shift.

i press the clutch in all the way and keep the throttle to the floor the whole time, never letting off the throttle, ive actually kicked it sideways in third by doing this, i use 1/2 clutch and shift as fast as possible using only the tips of the my fingers to slam it from 1st-2nd and 3rd-4th that way im not slamming the shifter into gear so hard (thats hell on gears) You can shift quickly without slamming it hard into gear.

I guess im the only one who traditionally shifts.

Off the throttle, clutch to the floor
+1 i take my foot partway off the gas, the RPM doesnt have time to drop tho. I run my car hard at the track but i dont abuse it.
