Thanks, that''s basically what I was looking for. But are those speeds right for shifting? If you're anywhere over 40 km/h you should be in 5th gear?
Also, if I break and don't use my clutch, will I stall? I've been to wary to try lol. I've heard that using the clutch to often is bad. Should you always pull in the clutch when breaking (even if your going down hill around a turn...I heard pulling the clutch in on turns is bad also)?
