you. When properly adjusted, a mirror may show the edge of your arm or shoulder - but it's the road
behind you and to the side that are most important.

clutch through the friction zone between each downshift. Keep the clutch in the friction zone until the
engine speed stabilizes. Then ease out the lever fully until ready for the next downshift. Usually you shift
gears one at a time, but it is possible to shift through more than one gear while the clutch is squeezed.
