bad inferno Member 130 Member For: 19y 8m 5d Posted 02/06/07 01:44 AM Share Posted 02/06/07 01:44 AM I've owned the Manual 6 speed T for a couple of years and just worked out I can push the clutch in without taking my foot of the accelerator. Supose this is drive by wire stuff...The last manual I owned (ok 20 years ago with twin side draft webbers) could never of done that without rev'n the guts out of the thing.Its a lot smoother now changing gears in normal driving....Must try it with our Honda euro Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35476-dont-laugh-but-just-found-out-how-to-change-gears/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reset the gap to 0.9 mm and you should get a much better gearchange.It worked on my car.

bad inferno Member 130 Member For: 19y 8m 5d Posted 02/06/07 03:18 AM Author Share Posted 02/06/07 03:18 AM (edited) Its a BA MKII and tried it on my Euro which is also drive by wire however sure enough it just rev'd out not like the XR6TI'm not saying floor the accelerator however in normal driving just push the clutch and change gears, the revs stay the same until you engage the next gear.
