Notchy shifting and feeling bumps while shifting in to gear

The Z Philes · 06-18-2019, 04:19 PM

Funny story about the rev match. When we first started looking at them, we test drove a used '15 Nismo. It had an aftermarket exhaust which was louder than stock. This immediately brought my attention to the throttle being blipped for what I thought was no reason whatsoever (I wasn't aware of the rev match). I thought something was wrong with car, even saying that to the salesman (though he should have known what it was).

So I laughed when I found out about it. That said, it's one of the things I like about my base model. It doesn't have it. Manually matching engine speed to vehicle speed is one of the charms of a manual transmission. It seems to me that if I wanted or needed rev match, I would just by one with an automatic transmission.
