Re: Clutch cable (again) was: RE: [ST] Intro

[Dennis Griffin <eagleeye@xxxxxxxxx>]

Helps if you practice clutchless shifting before you need to. My RS 
shifts very nicely both up and down, as long as I do my part correctly, 
at ~ 3,000 miles. Shifts better, with less clunk, without the clutch 
than with, at moderate RPMs. Then it's just a matter of not stopping if 
your cable should go.
