Porsche Driving Tip-

One of the most critical things in driving the 911 is to NOT RUSH shifting. If you are trying to be racy and take 1st gear up past 3500 RPS then quickshift to second you are creating nmore problems than you know! our cars are fast and quick, but not meant for that kind of driving. Take your time shifting into the gears.

ALSO NEVER rest at a stop light with clutch pushed in. this creates way too much pressure on the clutch and it will wear out fast. A clutch kit costs about $475 parts.

Lastly, NEVER downshift to 1st gear. The synchros will wear out and get dogeared and cuase more problems.
