So I need to press the gas before biting point for smooth gear change. Does this work when upshifting ?

[dannyh_fitness]

Nothing really to do with the bud but think I know why I’m over revving! I have a high clutch. When I’m about to move of I add gas first but then it’s taking me sometime to find the bite because I’m not used to a higher clutch! So I’ve added the gas but I’m not on the bite and I’ve read when you reach the bite your RPM drops a bit then so I’m pretty sure it’s that! Hopefully you understand my explanation 😂

I'm still struggling with this, I accelerate to move off when stopped and I'm lifting the clutch very slowly until the car moves forward. I either stall or move off very slowly

[ricoetbello]

The car i learn in drops speed when off the gas so fast the speed doesnt match the gear change from 2nd to 3rd 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am really struggling to change gear from second to first, always hear stopping the car, any advice you could give on how to smoothly change from 2nd to 1st gear
