    I had to learn how to pretty quick when I bought my Subaru Justy a couple years ago, the 2nd gear sychro was gone long before I got the car. Took some practice, but was pretty fun once I got it down.

    And yes, I had to overnight parts from Japan.

      With the stock throw in my car I always double clutch for no apparent fucking reason. Either it's because my dad tought me to do so or it helps time the shifts because the throw. I would think that it just wears the moving parts so dont do it.

          You know what? This will decimate all, after you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.

                            Hahaha I'm so glad this thread exists, thank you OP.

                            I only r3v-match my downshifts because it sounds cool with loud exhaust.
