Gairloch Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I double clutch because my syncros are shot Shift then turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkd Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 You guys shift? The only car I've had to double-clutch and/or shift sequentially was a Skip Barber Formula Dodge. But then again, in that car, assuming you just came off the gas, you could push it out of gear without clutching (and slam it in, if you couldn't/forgot to clutch).

924sowner Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 how about this one..... 1. let off gas 2. get on brakes, hard, with left foot 3. ease on gas *with right foot, left still on brakes hard* 4. ease car out of gear 5. blip throttle with right foot 6. rev match and get car into gear. 7. repeat if neccicary personally im one of the guys mentioned that rows through the gears for a rythem. plus it sounds cool dosent upset ballance of car at all. assuming you can get the controll of the brakes with your left foot down.... and remember to use the left foot for clutching again once you get into the pits 87 Porsche 924 S 5-speed transaxel. 130 HP to the wheels 2550 LBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

924sowner Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 lol yeah if i ever got a rental with a stick... never seen one honestly... probably a smart thing but i have discoverd something about my daily driver. a ford focus SVT. it dosent like double clutching, no clutching, or clutching with the clutch all the way to the floor. just push the pedal about 4 inches and it shifts really smoothly. rev matching this car is a pain in the @$$ though.... dosent spin up fast enough and its got this rev control program in it that keeps the revs from falling.... let off the gas in 2nd at 60 and it just keeps going with hardly any decel at all.... soon as the thing is off warrenty, imma have some fun changing this ASAP *probably the day after...* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Corkran Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I understand a restriction in the hose that feeds the IAB will fix that. I used an old socket in my '99 2.5 to cure the "moose call", supposed to work for the "throttle dashpot" problem as well. That's the issue that caused me to pass on an SVT. Oh wait, you're talking Focus SVT. I'm was thinking Contour SVT. Same thing might work on the Focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daily driver is an 03 SVTF and I don't have any trouble heel-toeing it or matching revs. Not sure what's up with yours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
