Anyone else having this feeling? Now, I am very anal when I drive and have heel/toed for many, many years, on the street and on the track, but it just seems that when I use this feature (which is always), it doesn't shift and decelerate immediately, there is a split second that it feels like a lurch forward (very, very small, but noticeable). I also have tried to drive without it, and it is almost impossible to be smooth on downshift - you have to be perfect or it won't be smooth at all - I feel sorry for those that don't have this option. Let me know what you guys are feeling.
I've noticed that I have this happen every once in a while. Sometimes the SynchroRev doesn't seem like it's working 100% properly. Every now and then I'll get a rough downshift.
