Proper Gear Shifting


Recommended Posts

Guys, i have been given advice before but i want an overall view. I find tat shifting at 3 grand which quite a few people say that they do, just does not meet, and it feels droopy and i find that 4 is much more through. But also 4 also seems to be pushin it that little bit further than 3. I also feel that the whole gear shifting in a sportivo is not very comfortable, i have been driving one for about a year now and since then i have driven other cars that seems to be alot more smoothy.

Open discussion.

Cheers

i only have a 1zz and i constantly shift at or above 4.5k, the car was built for revs, ive just had the 40k service and was told that it was the cleanest and most well maintained, drivetrain, rolla they had seen for a while.

They asked what i was doing to keep it that smooth

Yeah but the Sportivos are more of a hairy experience in terms of drive comfort. To shift in a 1ZZ its just bam-bam-bam

You're exactly right

The engines (1zz and 2zz) were built for high revving

its funny i thought the clutch would wear out, and was almost counting on it, but it still seems as reative as the day i brought the car, i guess thats cos i dont drop the clutch and do burnouts that often :P

Or im just lucky <_<

plus the gears are still smooth too
