I generally shift between 1,000 and 7,000 rpm. I double clutch when downshifting to first gear (almost never). Doesn't heel-toe involve some double clutching? Because sometimes when I do it, I blip the gas before pushing down the clutch to make it easier to get into 2nd.

 

There's no need to double clutch. Heel-n-toe consists of working the brake with the ball of your foot while rev matching with the heal of the same foot. The point is to match the engine RPM to the given gear so there is no jerkyness that could cause you to slow down or disrupt the car. I rev match on all my cars as it is a habit from track driving for me.

 

if i need to conserve gas and money, which is almost all the time, ill shift at about 2500. but if i feel like going a lil faster ill shift at about 4k. i'll only go above 6-7k if im racing or if i reeeeally feel like letting loose.

 

i shift through feel and sound. the dx doesn't have a tach and I haven't had the desire to put one in. It makes downshifting a bit hap hazard, but I think I'm getting better at it.

I never downshift into 1st, except if I'm like at really close to a stop.

 

Im with most on this, 3000 to 3500, Im on a high school budget, so gas can be costly at 2 dollars and a quarter.

Here comes a dumb question...
Whats double clutching?

 

Yeah, but sometimes if I'm going like say 50mph coming into a turn, right when I start braking, I'll blip the gas with the clutch out to make it go into gear easier, and relieve some wear on the synchros. Then while I'm in the turn I'll do the whole heel-toe routine with the clutch in.

 

i shift around 1st-4k 2nd-4k 3rd-4k 4th-3k to 3500 then to 5th once i get going about 50 to save some gas

 

I've never had a problem getting my car into gear even on track use, so I've never worried about it. I've got the car apart so much that if the synchro's do let out, it's no big deal to replace. The idea behind it is great for trying to make the transmission last between rebuilds, but when I'm in a spirited mood, I'm more worried about accelerating, stopping and turning. I drive my cars hard

 

Yeah, I can get it into 2nd when I'm at higher speeds, but when I'm doing it without double clutching, the shifter stops before fully engaging (I'm assuming this is where the synchros are coming into play), and then it'll drop into gear.

 

when driving around town i tend to shift outta first at 3k and the rest about 2500. at the track im shifting at 6500 while never letting my foot off the gas.
