Favorite Shift
What is your favorite shift (upshift or downshift)? Alternatively, what's your least favorite shift? I personally love 3rd to 4th: it's always smooth, you can hit 8K (without being TOO over the speed limit), and it feels great to just pull that lever straight back! Can't say I'm a big fan of the 5th to 6th shift: it's pretty mundane and usually for the sake of saving some gas.

In LHD cars I love 3rd-4th and there are no shifts I don't really care for. In RHD cars anything to deal with 2nd sucks, shifting up or down. With RHD I think 3rd-4th is may favorite.

My favourite is 6Th to 3Rd, as it usually means there is a gap in the oncoming traffic, on the country back roads where I do most of my driving, & I can now pass a slower vehicle I'm following.
Push it into neutral, & the stick slips into the 3/4 plane. A blip of throttle as you push it into 3Rd, & a firm push on the throttle as you let the clutch back in.
In just a few seconds you are back into 6Th, as you pull in, in front of the slower car, coasting as you slow back to the speed limit.
There really is nothing like a responsive car, & a nice gearbox.
