Manual: World's First Rev Matching Downshifting tranny. The car WILL NOT down shift for you. All this tranny will do is rev match to perfect RPMs as you down shift. Lets say you're driving 6th gear but you want to go to 5th. All you have to do is clutch in > shift to 5th and clutch out. The car will rev match to the right RPMs as you let of your clutch. This should be very interesting. I'm not totally sure if the rev matching occurs right after down shifting to 5th or right after clutch disengage. You gotta wait 5 more days for that info.
Yes, but this do is the problem. The car does what an experienced driver likes to do, and I'm just talkin' about matching the revs for yourself! I don't know the correct english term, we italians call it "punta-tacco". When you learn to do it, you don't wanna lose it, especially me.. It's so long that I've been waiting for this car and have to hear this sh*t...
