Guys its like Hgslayer said above. You gotta get out of it , yank the lever , bang the gear , and get back in it all at the same time. I see guys pull the clutch and then , wait for it , shift , let the clutch out , then roll on the throttle. They aren't real smooth like that. The quicker you complete the process , the less the rpm drop and the smoother the shift. And like what was also said if you shift above 3000 rpm it really helps.
