I usually try to have the engine at 2 - 3K prior to clutch engagement,

depending on the situation.  Higher if you downshift at an initially

higher RPM.  If the engine is not up to speed (idle, for example) the

clutch will experience premature wear.  Experiment with it a few times.

The better it feels, the closer you are to righteousness! (I hope that's

not an Indigo Girls song I just quoted)



-Lou and his roadster,  which is downshifted somewhere in the narrow gap

between awful and Nirvana!
