it seemed like the article to me was suggesting a longer shift between gears than I used to do on my 89 900S--which was still running strong at 170K when it was retired for physical damage, not mechanical--so I must not have been shifting too poorly...
...and the bit about "let the clutch get all the way home before gassing the throttle"...I almost always gave it some gas beofre the clutch was all the way home (or up) even if it was only a blip for decelerating downshifts...but I defintely gave a good amount of gas on upshifts...
I certainly didn't "force it" but I didn't wait 3/5s of a second between shifts either...do most people wait that long between shifts? I certainly didn't on my old C900.
