So, I'm getting an 88 Camry All Trac soon as a DD/learning platform. I'm gonna dissemble, reassemble, clean and change a part or two, but keep it stock for the most part, and then sell it here in about a year or so before moving onto a full on Camry build on a prettier car.
Car in question is a manual, and I've a shifting inquiry: what are your recomended best practices for shifting on a Camry All Trac?
Should I double clutch, and at that should I let it hang a moment as possible when it's in neutral (read that in an automotive class textbook, the author seemed quite resolute on the matter), any other quirks to the Camry transmission I should be aware of? My WRX 5 speed is, uh, a little funny for example.
I've really only ever driven preformance manual cars, which don't mind quick shifts and kicking the clutch now and again. Doesn't seem to kind a thing to do a commuter car drivetrain through, and I want to granny the car as much as possible for longevity and mileage sake. What kind of MPG do you folks get as well by the way?
Thoughts, comments, criticisms, tangents?
