Thanks.

fwiw; You might have read above that my daughter's name is now TOD (Transfer On Death) on the title but she's never seen it. She and her family are coming to dinner this evening and I've got it outside prominently displayed for when they get here.

Hi Mike. Great car! You are probably aware, but when downshifting the engine needs to be sped up while the trans is in neutral and your foot is off the clutch during the double clutch process. Try to imagine what rpm the engine will be in the gear you're shifting into.

Yep. I'll keep trying. I always thought of myself as well coordinated hand/eye and pretty much mechanically inclined. Guess I was fooling myself.

Like I said; I'll keep trying. I'm thinking lots of folks less coordinated than me have mastered this. Someday I will also.
