Unless it was purpose built to operate like this.

I've owned the Manual 6 speed T for a couple of years and just worked out I can push the clutch in without taking my foot of the accelerator. Supose this is drive by wire stuff...The last manual I owned (ok 20 years ago with twin side draft webbers) could never of done that without rev'n the guts out of the thing.

Its a lot smoother now changing gears in normal driving....Must try it with our Honda euro

You can hold the gas peddle flat on a BA/F and it won't start either..........Don't try that on the Honda .......... I 've never seen your posts so..........there's not a link to this topic on LS1 forums is there? :bsflag:

and when u want to turn a corner.. u dont brake or handbrake.. just force it back into first

she'll compression lockup u round any bend in perfect comfort and safety

That's where the autos suck - it's too f*cking smart. No downchanges unless it's safe. As if 5 thou is too high for a downshift

But anyway, back on-topic. Should I be releasing the accelerator pedal between gear changes?

More in common with an auto than a manual, though it sh*ts over both, depending on how its employed.
