Noob Question: Smooth up-shifting..

[fusionist]

In the Boxster especially I find that you don't need a tapered speed when letting out the clutch. You are already in gear when you are doing this. In other cars you need to feel it into gear more.. but something about the linkage in the boxster doesn't require this at all. When you catch yourself doing this, try just letting go of the clutch.

Practice, practice and practice. The 3 secrets to a smooth change. It is really as simple as matching the engine speed to the road speed for the given gear. If you can do it perfectly then it is possible to change without a clutch, and completely crunch and clunk free.

I also have noticed the "soft" engagment when shifting, I assume it's due to the dual mass flywheels cushioning effect.
