Shifting gears up or down the Di Matteo way.

[FERDINANDO DI MATTEO <aroctech@domain.elided>]

Double clutching is a waste of time and effort!   To learn my way is not 
at all difficult.  Practice for 20 minutes and you will have it down pat,

I will not give you any technical numbers to remember.

To upshft without crunching Push the clutch ALL the way down to the 
floor.   The extr a fraction of a second allows the gears to fully stop.

To down shift fast from any gear Do Not take your foot off of the 
throttle, maintain the engine speed you are using in that gear, then 
deprtess the clutch all the way and shift! You may want to down sdhift 
from 5th to 4th to 3rd to2ndin rapid succession , you'll find the engine 
rpms at perfect speed each time.

That works perfectly in every Alfa I have owned, in fact I learnd that 
method in my very first Giulietta in '58

regards, Fred
