why would you be slipping the clutch?? I dont think anyone understands what your talking about. Theres no reason for you to be under 3k when on the track or spirited driving.

Rev high and shift high - simple.

I'm not sure it could be stated any more clearly.

Remember to downshift when you slow down...
