How do I turn a corner with a manual transmission?
When I turn corners while travelling with some speed I clutch in and put it into 2nd but i don't engage (let up on the clutch) until I have made the turn. I brake and basically coast around the corner with the clutch in with the gear selector in 2nd. Once I have made the turn I engage 2nd gear by releasing the clutch and giving gas (rev matching if necessary).
I know that turning corners without being engaged in a gear is bad (due to emergency situations).
But my primary concern is that is this method bad for the synchros? I'm travelling at a fairly high speed and clutching in and putting the gear in 2nd without engaging but does this put wear on the synchros? Do the synchros do anything when the clutch is in? Because I clutch in and put it in 2nd when I'm doing a very high speed not suitable for 2nd gear but I didn't think much of it because I wasn't actually engaging the gear. Is this bad? I have noticed some difficulties getting into 2nd and 3rd now which are the main gears I use when cornering with this method. I think I may have damaged the synchros.
Is this method of cornering bad? What should I do to change it?

Copy bot.
Unless you are crawling around turns just leave it in 2ed gear with out putting the clutch in and see if the motor tries to stall.
Syncronizer rings don't get worn unless you are shifting. Don't try to down shift to 1st gear while the car is moving. If you're just abuot at a stop you can down shift to 1st at a slow roll.
You should be in gear and engaged when turning. Never coasting out of gear or in with clutch in. Slow to proper turn speed be in proper gear and then corner.
- My Ford Transit headlights turn on in off position and turn off in the on position? I'm a new driver, just passed my test. My van has some issue with the lights: namely, the lights turn off in the on position when the dash lights come on, and turn on when they are supposed to be off. This means that I'm driving at night without dash lights as I need to have the lights switched off in order for my headlights to be on. Might this be an electrical issue? Would anybody be able to give me advice and possibly know how much this costs to repair?

- Can you get a 2015 ford mustang and Chevy camaro in automatic transmission instead of manual transmission? Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2015 ford mustang or Chevy camaro. Both of the cars come in manual transmission! Is it possible to get it in automatic transmission instead? Can I just ask the dealer (dealership) to give me the car with automatic transmission or do I have to change it myself?
- How to get rid if fordyce spots on corner of lips? I have noticed these what I assume to be fordyce spots on my lips and they are whitish in color very small and in groups and they are raised.
