4) let go of clutch

I skip the neutral part...


There are 3 speeds in your car.
1. Engine speed RPM
2. Wheel speed MPH
3. Flywheel and other internal tranny part speed

When you skip the neutral part you are synchronizing engine speed with wheel speed, but not the internals speed. your synchros will still have to work to get everything spinning up to speed.

what you are doing is the minimum that should be done. but still not enough
