mx3 shifting
well i think he was refering to accelerating faster not shifting smoothly. in my 94 DOHC i launch at 2200 and take first 2nd right up to 6700, because thirds wider i usually shift out at 6500 cause after that powers dropping off neways. try not to launch to often tho start of normally then gas it a lot less wear and tear on ur clutch and tranny. when shifting from first to second i keep the gas on pull it out of gear without the clutch fast as possible tap the clutch release it and ull get a nice chirp which will also use the momentum to catch 2nd a litlle higher in rpms putting it clser to the powerband i find theres a big drop in rpms first to second really wide gearing. i dunno wut u have done to the car but the most worthwhile mods i find are real cold air intake(not hot air) high flow cat and muffler and go to a wreck yard tons around and get some 1.6l miata cams(more agressive) all mods work well with eachother and wont cancel one or another out seeing their all mid-upper rpm mods. dont be afraid to take it up to the revlimiter a cpl times so u can see where it kicks in so u dont shift to early the little 1.6 dohc u have to keep in its powerband.
dohc b6, intake, exhaust, miata cams ready to go in

it's a lil bit of fun but i just did it a while ago when i was dilivering pizzas after all that time driving hitting that clutch was just to much of a workout for my foot had to give it a rest.

shifting without the clutch will not wear out the clutch as much as shifting with it....n2ogsze wrote:Shifting without the clutch has no real practical use, it's just too say, "Hey, I'm so cool I can shift without my clutch". Do it a few times just to learn how, but after that use your damn clutch.
95 RS so far just a paintjob, rims suspension next then turbo...
I have turbo dreams and detanation nightmares
