i always need a tach because i always match rpms upshifting and downshifting.

real drivers do it by sound only!

My buddy's old toyota truck (manual) had no tach in it, had to gauge shift points by sound/feel.

I think most drivers tend to gauge shifts by feel after a few months with a car.

i'm just trying to reduce wear on the synchros and clutch. this car of mine's going to last me a long time.
