But remember folks, always shift back from neutral into a gear suitable for your speed... or significnatly shorten the life of your synchromesh


You can always double clutch

i dont have the habit of running the engine in neutral. im also very aware, and used to brake fading, because i have the habit of driving hard, which leads to braking real hard while heel and toeing, etc. im no rally driver, i just like to have fun.

anyhow thanks for the help

Thanks dev.

I tought that while coasting fuel would be completely cutoff, because wheel movement is already keeping it running.
You know, something like: fuel is only injected when idling(to keep it from shuting down) and when pressing the throttle pedal.

Anyway, in downhills its more economical to just let it in neutral, right?

This is something thats been making me feel curious for a while now.

You´re driving your car downhill, in gear (lets assume a manual transmission), without pressing the gas pedal. Only the force of gravity and momentum is making your car move. In these situations, that happen practicaly every time you drive, what exactly is happening in the engine? Is there any fuel consumption, or is it merely a fuel cutoff? If it is a cutoff, then isnt the engine running only on air, instead of an air/fuel mixture?

Im kind of confused..

As you all probably know, quick reflexes are very important during a race.
So i thought you people might find this interesting and fun.

it may sound like bees or something like that, but it sure makes heel and toe downshifting a breeze. you can really feel the engine response

Quote from Jethro! :Well now that I have been enlightened by a kind LFS'er (Thank you Rappa Z) I can say without question that DRIFTING IS LAME!

You guys just join a server and slide your cars sideways through turns endlessly? Never racing just sliding into and out of turns over and over? illepall

That sounds like buying Battlefield 2 and designating your server to practice dance moves. "Hey! NO shooting allowed!"

try it, you will love it..
its addictive AND it helps alot in developing your countersteering skills.

besides to what has been told here i heard that in real life the axles that conect the wheels to the dif in the gearbox, in most fwd cars, are usually too weak to handle greater amounts of torque
but thats in real life...
thats someting i would also like to clarify
