Thanks [/quote] my mate can do this in his mini?:boggle: [/quote] All (as far as i know) manual gearbox's can do this. When driving rev up to about 2k in 3rd. Lift off the accelerator apply preasure to the gearstick to go into 4th and it'll slip in. No grinding done. :thumbs: [/quote] It's called rev matching. The old lorries you hear on films that cruch had "crash gearboxes" - basically no syncromeshes, so the driver had to match the roadspeed to the engine speed to get a smooth change or you got the crashing noise.
