he probably listens to tell when the engine is tacking out. when i fist started floating I would listen to the turbo and when it leveled out I would level out the fuel (stop pushing and maintain the rpm steady) then pull on the stick and it just floats out of gear. let up the fuel (not all the way cause I run with the jakes on) and let the rpms drop just like when clutching then stick it in gear and resume pressing fuel down. with a little practice it will become one smooth fluid motion. after a while you stop listening and just start to feel when you are at the top range of that gear. couple things to remember. you must make sure that the gears are properly meshed before you apply fuel again or they will slip apart under the load and could damage the gears (and makes one hell of a racket) floating down works the same way but requires a little more practice. most of floating is all about fuel peddle control being able to bump the rpms and let them fall the desired amount each time.Originally Posted by Douglas
I didn't realize you shift it using the RPMs just like you would if you were double-clutching. A co-worker had only told me just to listen to the motor, and nothing else.Maybe I'll be able to drive that bad boy...
