Default Finished m6 conversion, Tips to downshift

Yesterday i took the car around the block for the first time. I noticed when the clutch pedal is all the way out in neutral it makes a load humming noise. Im thinking its throughout bearing but not sure. Also im not use to driving a proshifted tranny, any tips on how to downshift without crazy grinding, i tried RPM matching but then again i really didn't get to drive it much yesterday. Any info will be appreicated.

Lol! you down shift into "N" when the car is off. I hope you aren't trying to drive this daily on occasion. I drove one for a week and all i heard was grinding. You have to blip the RPM's to get a downshift. It takes practice thats is for sure.

you probably have no responses because most people on here have no idea what a proshifted trans is.

!brass....for anyone who is curious.

Thanks for the tips, I drove it and i just want to swap for a stock trans with sycros. Im not happy with it at all. But it is bad A$$ when the rpms are up.
