[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1232152, member: 25896"] To clarify: When I pre-load the shifter, it is a very, very light pressure indeed, similar to covering the brake lever. It's not as if you were applying pressure sufficient to actually shift, just as when covering the brake you are not applying sufficient force to apply the brakes. The intent is to decrease the delay caused by having your toe not touching the shifter - then pulling in the clutch - then raising the toe to shift. This is particularly effective when shifting from first to second, and again when shifting from third to fourth. When done correctly, there is no 'clunk', and no missed shift. There is zero movement of the shifter during the pre-load phase; just sufficient pressure to maintain contact as there is when you are covering the brake lever. [/QUOTE]
