For the smoothest shifts...? I currently own a 05 GTO...
What do you do to get the smoothest shifts? I feel fine in my car, but whenever I drive with someone else, they always seem to move forward each time I shift (well, in the low gears mostly). I have tried many different way, and I find that depressing the clutch slowly while staying on the gas works the best. Depress the clutch slowly, then the gas pedal while shifting gears and then release the clutch slowly while getting back on the gas. Only problem with this is that the RPM's might be a bit too high and jerk the car once the clutch engages....any helpful hints to get the car running like it's an auto??
