Intermediate throttle

  1. Clutch in
  2. Gear lever in neutral
  3. Clutch out
  4. Give throttle (intermediate throttle)
  5. Clutch in
  6. Gear lever in gear

  This usually needs to be done fairly quickly.

  It is not a problem to live with an asynchronous gearbox, and you do then not need to lend the car to anybody. And I got to thinking about something I read on this website:

  «A car with a manual transmission literally needs you in a way an automatic doesn't. Like the bond that a horse and its rider form when things are in sync, you, too, will feel the pleasure of the relationship that develops between you and your manual-transmission car.»

  The person who wrote this should have tried an asynchronous gearbox; then he would really feel the ties tightening.  
  Another thing — when I'm catching up with cyclists, it's not uncommon for me to have to downshift, and with all this violent throttle; Do they think I'm angry? Maybe I should roll down the side window when I drive by and shout that I'm not angry?  

• What is written on this page is based on my experiences with TRD1. Maybe it will be different on other models.

• The synchronization rings can be damaged if you use the wrong type of gear oil.

• Maybe this oil can help with poor synchronization?

Intermediate throttle with cold engine

  When you shift from first to second you give a lot of intermediate throttle and from second to third a little intermediate throttle.

  When you shift down, you give a lot of intermediate throttle.

Instead of changing from first to second, you can try to change directly from first to third without intermediate throttle (you must then give some throttle in first gear so that the car gets up to a good speed before you change).

Intermediate throttle with hot engine

  When you shift up, you don't need to give intermediate throttle, you just let the revs drop and change gear slowly.

  When you shift down, you give a lot of intermediate throttle.
