Hey guys, I have noticed a problem with my car when I speed shift, I stab the clutch pretty hard when I shift fast, and I have had people tell me at the track that I hit my brakes when I shift.

I have found this hard to believe, well because I am not a retard, I know how to shift. So in my garage I backed it in and hit the clutch hard by itself a couple times, and wouldn't you know if behind me my brake lights were lighting up for a split second. Here is a video of it doing it, Is there anything I can adjust down there to get it to stop? It's not hurting my times (obviously) but it looks pretty dumb going down the track lol.

you can probably just adjust your brake switch thats attached to the pedal.

Interesting. I've had people tell me I have hit the brakes when I shifted at the track before, and I found it hard to believe.

Ill have to go look, does that switch adjust the pressure that the lights come on?

haha I am definitely not. It still did it when I powershifted too, but after the garage test I know its just the pedal shaking from me hitting the clutch.
