I know that you can shfit up an down with out using
the clutch, but in street cars tranmisstions it can be hard on the
syncros.
Nascar I believe don't actively use the clutch
since most their driving is in top gear.
When I rode super bikes I never user the clutch
going up. Cart used (can't spell ) Howland and their gears wear robust and
straight cut and I believe no syncros so matching revs and double clutching
was normal.Either Road and Track or Car and Driver had an excellent
write up so that you could get home if your clutch failed. A couple of
points they broung up was you would have to depress the clutch even if it was
not working as most modern have a safty switch when starting the car and most
car will start with the starter moter in gear.

Hi Stephen,
You wrote <<I assume

clutch!>>
If youâre asking me, the answer is no. I donât rest my hand on the
gearshift, either â for the same reason â it can cause damage.
BTW, am I wrong to assume pro race drivers donât use a clutch - but match
revs going up and down without any clutch â except when first starting
off?

I neither drive with my foot resting on the bake
pedal or the clutch pedal it is on the dead pedal you know the one all the way
to the left or the floor.
From you comment I assume (yes I know what
that means) you drive with your left foot on the clutch!

Hello Fellippe,
re: Left Foot Braking:
I never liked LF braking â to easy to apply the brakes slightly and
either wear the pads quickly or cause lots of heat build-up to boil the
Brake Fluid & damage things.... and itâs especially bad on
the street where the driver behind never really knows f youâre braking or
resting your foot on the brake....
Arenât brake lights becoming common in race cars?
Merry Christmas,
LarryT

You
know, all the complaining about paddle shifts got me thinking that at the
very least the owners should learn how to left foot brake... Anyone
on here comfortable with it? FG
