What do you call drop kicking your shifter to get it to pop out of 4th gear? I hear this is the best method for your back seat drivers who want you to get into 5th gear on the highway.

I never said I thought it was effective!!! Someone told me that they double clutched while they were racing and I wondered why in the eff you would do that, but before I told him he shouldn't do that I wanted to make sure I knew exactly what it was.

These are also the units used in NASCAR and SCCA Trans Am racing. For the most part they are UNSTREETABLE, as the gear noise/whine/SCREAM is sooo loud it would drown out open headers/built, big cam motor, from inside the car. Check out in-car vids of Trans Am cars on a road circuit to see/hear what I'm talking about. Of course, someone will come on here and say, "Oh yeah, well I drive a straight cut transmission around on the street, and I have NO problem with it." Believe me, they are the EXCEPTION NOT THE RULE!!! These things will deafen you on a daily driven/often driven car.
Real, true racing sequential transmissions should be shifted without a clutch (again after clutching into 1st). But again the noise is unbearable, and the cost is waaay more than an f body when it was new!!
