SyncroRev Matching vs Traditional Double-Clutching

yeah this cars gearbox also like to go from 3rd to 2nd instead of 4th if you're not paying attention. But what do I know I'm use to a gated shifter you can't screw up!

.

As for SRM being overzealous on the upshifts, I too found that slower is better. I don't think it's truly about the speed as much as our own human imperfection in transitioning from 4-5. If we do it quickly, I bet we often accidentally bump the 3 gate in the process. However, slowing down and allowing the shifter to set in neutral and then progress to 5 is likely a more accurate path. I about lost my lunch on the highway today when I downshifted from 5 to 4 and the car revved for a 2 shift

One thing you might consider is looking at your shifting-hand technique. I had problems in my previous car with 3-4 upshift becoming an accidental 3-2 downshift a couple of times (which is really bad if you just finished topping out 3rd gear). Someone showed me that I should cup my hand towards me on the 1-2 shift (the way you naturally would), but on the similar 3-4 shift, flip your hand the other direction, so you're cupping away from your body. No more mistakes once I learned to do that all the time. There may be similar tricks of hand placement that will help you avoid tripping the 3-gate sensor on the 4-5 upshift.

yes I had to alter my hand positioning for shifting this car. Use to it now.
