I was gonna post earlier in the thread that turning the VDC off seems to provide a much smoother take off from a stop and smoother shifts, but I thought it was just in my head. Maybe it really does make a difference.

Well,
Maybe its not my imagination then...I tried it with SRM on, SRM off, SRM on and VDC off, and SRM off/VDC off. The 1st to 2nd shifts were smoothest with SRM and VDC off, followed by SRM off and VDC on. By the way, I am 50 years old, I do not street race or get crazy, and I know better than to lose the protection afforded by VDC when road conditions are adverse. Some of you young guns were dining on Gerber with diapers on when I was driving a column-mounted three speed! Anyone try one of those animals? |

3-on-the-tree! Yeah, I remember driving a few of those. Talk about a long throw shifter!

Brakedrift,
You are correct that the shift at lower RPM's is smoother from 1 to 2. Seriously (this is true)...a little bitty smart-car pulled up beside me at a stoplight. I was already POed because I pulled one of those "whiplash" 1 to 2 shifts at the previous light. The driver was a a HUGE fur-trader who leaned over to kiss her female domestic partner, who was also a two-ton tussie. Collectively, there was probably 400+ pounds of fur-trading females in this little car. When I took off at the light, I went into the "shift at low RPM's" mode between 1 and 2 and watched the smart car leave me in the dust. Such an event creates an aversion to low RPM 1 to 2 shifts. I bet the heavyweight chicks were laughing their ****S off as they licked each others eyebrows... |

Maybe I'm missing something, but if VDC doesn't sense wheel slippage while your shifting (shouldn't, if you're doing it right), it won't activate. Shouldn't be a difference if it's on or off while changing gears?
Does the VDC engage (light up) when anyone shifts from 1st to 2nd in here?

I've noticed that my shifts are smoother with SRM off also. I think it's because it takes the rpm longer to drop with SRM on. Tough decision...smoother shifts or SRM downshifting for you.

Interesting - I'll check this out (only while shifting, mind you - I'll put if back on once the "science project" is complete

WOW...
I am really relieved to know that I was not imagining this. There will be times when I use SRM. Most of the time, I am going to be driving with SRM OFF. Thanks much for the feedback folks! |

Sorry to revive an old thread.
When people talk about "smooth shift", do they mean the car doesn't jerk or the shift lever just glides into gear smoothly? I am asking because sometimes I find it hard to shift into 2nd, it even makes noise. Thanks. |
