Hello,
I've been driving for about two years now on a automatic, and I had a few questions for people with MT cars.
1. Do you rev-match? I know a lot of people say it's redundant, and most people who drive MT cars do not, but do you? And why do you do/do not? Of course if you don't know what rev-matching is, don't worry about it.
2. For drivers of modern cars, do you double clutch rev match? I know it further reduces strain on the syncromesh, that it's really complicated, and that very few MT drivers use this method, but I was wondering if it's worth it to learn it if I'm only hoping to drive modern cars.
3. For people who do rev-match, how long did it take for you to get it down to the point where you can do it with just the engine sound and not looking at the tachometer? I just wanted to get a range.
4. I don't actually own a MT car or know anyone who has one, so what would be the best way to go about learning how to drive a manual? I would like driving school to be the last resort...but it seems like I have no choice. Anyone wanna teach me? =p
5. Just out of curiosity, does anyone use heel and toe on a daily basis on a regular commute, or use it at all? (Excluding track-goers)
Thanks for the answers!
