Ease off the gas, slide it into neutral,goose the gas, step on clutch and drop it into 3rd with the merest little 'snick'. Yeah right. Well, with practice.
3rd to 2nd is harder to get right, 2nd to first near impossible.
Gil, Um,what model tranny? Crash box, or later 430 with the synchros gone in 3&4? Not much difference in double clutching, only in finding out you need to.
Tranny lube, should be 50 or 90 wt. Mine has straight 140, when warm it is a totally different shiftor.
