I was cruising along in 4th
gear@113 MPH when I decided to open up the throttle all the way.
I got to about 8359
RPM@139 MPH, and knowing that the rev limiter was going to kick in at any second to make me shift to 5th gear, I wondered what you people thought of clutch less shifting?
When I drive a car with manual transmission, other than starting out, I rarely use the clutch for up or down shifting. I tried the same with my Speedy and it seems that it does not like it, so I use the clutch.
In race cars& motorcycles, after leaving the pits, they never use the clutch and the cars use the same type of transmission as a motorcycle:i.e. you cannot go from 1st to 3rd gear without going through 2nd gear, unlike a street car where you can shift from 1st to 4th if you want)
(Indy cars, and most endurance racing sports cars)
I wondered if you all had any thoughts on clutch less up-shifting when hitting the limiter, or even just carefully up and down-shifting??
Thank you in advance!! :-D
