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.

I have never owned an automatic car yet my UK Base model MT has SynchroRev as standard. I didn't ask for it or specify it but I find it great just because its there and cost me nothing extra.

You can turn it off lol.

Yeah, but it's still something that can break. And you'd hope it would break where it just wouldn't work and not something goofy like intermittently revving the motor for no reason whether it's on or not.

So you equate Rev matching with automatics?

Wow! That’s a stretch...

PS: you can turn it off. Just sayin’

Well not directly equate. But it is something that can be done manually that's now done automatically, so.....

By the way, does that have to be turned off every time the car is started, or does it remain off until turned back on?

It remains in the setting it was in when the car was last running.

What I MEANT was if you press the S button twice the trans turns into an automatic.

Three times and it ejects the passenger.

So when I don’t feel like dealing with a clutch, I can push a button and make it an automatic?

That’s freaking cool!

Well, I said nothing of the sort, but have fun banging on that straw man. Look, I in no way meant to disparage anybody who enjoys that feature. I was talking from a personal perspective.
