i dont understand this. i see itin alot of street raceing vids.how do u miss 2nd gear. i dont race my car so i not allway in a hurry to shift. do thay mean thay rdy missed 2nd as in went from 1 to 3? are is there like an certain rpm that best to shift at and that missed that?
basically they suck at driving and make up an excuse. when they say that, it usually means they didnt shift all the way into gear,scratched 2nd gearor the shift took way to long...
In the 6 months i've been driving stick, i've ground it once, i think maybe twice. But especially if you're concentration on just that (as in racing) it shouldn't happen.

I finally got a car and the only problem I have is some times downshifting like I sometimes cant get the gear to go in but I have only had my car a couple days so I am sure more prctice will help this
downshifting on the streets shouldnt really be needed unless u really need to stop in a hurry and u dont have abs and dont want to lock ur brakes up. it puts a good deal of stress on the engine if u dont do it properly. brakes arecheaper and easierto replace than an engine...if u wana do it the right way, u need to learn a littleheel-toe. brake slightly with toes and bring rev up with heel,then down shift once the rpms have matched. takes some time knowing when exactly to shift and how much pressure to apply but its not that difficult to do.
How do ppl miss 2nd gear?
