[QUOTE="potato, post: 3943330, member: 82336"] I have a few questions regarding driving manual transmission cars. 1.Would like to know if driving normal cars in spirited driving, is it possible to upshift at or near redline at lower gears, or redline can only be reached during final gear? I notice my rpm will blip up when i let go of the gas & depress the clutch when upshifting. 2.Would like to know will it hurt the gears while depressing the clutch and have the shifter to lower gear while the car is slowing down but still at a higher speed (clutch depress until car slow down to speed of that gear). I know it would hurt the engine & transmission if we downshift (letting the clutch go) if the speed is higher than what the gear suppose to be at, but would it still hurt if i did not let go the clutch? 3.Do the gear shifter smoothness depend on the speed of your car (clutch depressed)? I heard some old cars doesn't even allow you to downshift if the speed is too high. [/QUOTE]
