How to avoid missed shifts?
Went to the drag strip for the first time yesterday. I'm normally a twisties guy so it was definitely a new experience to launch and just drive straight!
Out of the three runs I did, I blew my 1-2 shift in two of the runs! I somewhat forcefully move it into second at about 6000 rpms (didn't shortleg the clutch) and while the lever goes there, the gear doesn't engage. What gives? If I gingerly put it into second, it engages just fine. But when I'm trying to shift quickly, a ginger shift just doesn't seem effective. What causes missed shifts and more importantly, how do you avoid them? BTW - I'm in a 335i with 6MT and about 8000 miles. |

Are you lifting off the throttle at redline, flooring the clutch, shifting then dropping the clutch with throttle?
