A Visual Aid For Shifting Right!

Hand position while shifting

While shifting from the top of the box to the bottom, form an open cup with your palm, and place over the shift knob with the inside of your fingers and the palm of your hand making contact. Guide the lever quickly with your fingers, but don’t strong arm it. Gently push it, but don’t slam. The movement is primarily with the wrist. If you lock your wrist around the shifter like a fighter plane control stick, you will actually slow down your shift.
