...Who does it? I do it in any car that is standard, all the time. Just bored at work and wondering who else actually does......

Carter

I do when I'm driving the 'rents automatic cars=]
Mostly when heavy braking I downshift, otherwise my clutch is just about dead as it is, so no, not recently...

Victum

yes, all the time... and heel toe in corners, its good to be used to all of it.

PyAri

Not all the time, I'm too lazy. Neutral is my homie.

Enigma

lol


EDIT: Ever downshift too fast and have the rear end start to swing out? I've done that a few times and got sideways on some turns.. I learned to shift a little slower......

dc/dc

I do...

MerF

Oh yes, especially with a lack of tread like I am feeling right now.

I downshift just about everytime, but never to where my RPMs will spike above 3k, no need for that much valvetrain wear and tear.

Carter

haha yea, coming off 264 at newtown rd, i put it in 2nd doing about 60 and got sideways, and this was going straight down the hill, a little to the right. pushed the clutch back in and straightened up after a few "speed wobbles", or whatever they're called. it was fun, after the fact.

reXer

Are you double clutching when you downshift? I wouldn't think it would do that if you were because it's such a smooth transition. awd doesn't have these fun little quirks tho, so I'm just guessing.

Enigma

No double clutching when I downshift, only upshifting.. just trying to decrease turbo lag as much as possible.
