Hi Guys, so I have the practice of quickshifting during spirited drives through backroads. Basically I clutch, shift and gas all in a few milliseconds in a way the car doesn't make any abrupt noises or jerks (obvious sign of a bad shift). Basically how you see racing drivers do. Thankfully my downshifts and Rev matching are smooth too around 90% of the time. But note:- by quickshifting I don't mean rough shifting where I abuse the shifter with brute force like Vin diesel. A very soft click with 2 fingers or my palm is what I mean. On normal drives I just shift.. Normally. Now I have been told that quickshifting can hurt synchros and the shifter mechanism. Can someone shed some light on this topic?
