I just used the "syncro-match"

USMCASA

^is that a prius in your avatar? and why can't anyone say anything negative about the worst president we've ever had? is it because he's sorta black? i'm a minority and i still don't like him

haggomyeggo

please stay on topic or


gotta get this thread moving again

oh yea synchro rev....ok I got a question since I don't have it. Does it use up more fuel since it has to match up the revs everytime there's a downshift?

probably not noticeably.

I was wondering about fuel consumption too. Personally, i would think it would matter that much, but then again, i dont know Sh3t.

I've been driving a manual for about 15 years and the SRM is a very nice feature. It makes driving more fun and less taxing in traffic. Nissan did a very good job with this. I would even go as far to say this would be a good first manual car for someone, as long as they respect the power of the beast.

YES: that is all

you dont have to like him, but you lose your credibility when you buy into the stupid conspiracy theories. let me guess, you think everything democrat does is bad. grow up and learn how to think for yourself.

probably, not really sure. you dont have the same engine braking downshifting like with a normal car unless you turn the system off. but it is fun to pull up to a light and put it in to second and hear the engine rev just as you come to a stop though

uhhh what? it works exactly the same as if you downshifted yourself, it just matches the rev's for you.

the gas guage pisses me off either way every time i notice another light went out.......

USMCASA

it still engine breaks, just from a higher(proper)rev for a lower gear

haggomyeggo

yes but when it matches the revs, its ready to go instead of giving you sensation of throwing you forward in your seat . I am not explaining it well. i just know i think it feels different downshifting coming up to a light with it on or off. If i want to pound around the corner the SRM is awesome. but i usually just leave the car in gear till i get up to the light and then throw it in neutral.

esfourteen

that "sensation" your are describing is a result of you NOT rev matching properly when downshifting, enjoy your clutch while it lasts.

im not really trying to match the revs. You would do the same thing in a large truck to slow it down without overwhelming the brakes. i just go from 4th to 3rd and let the clutch out smoothly, not giving it any gas and it slows the car down smoothly and i dont have to sit there riding the clutch. its called engine braking in driving a big truck. or at least thats what they called it when i got my CDL.

also i have heard (not saying it is true) but if you leave a manual car in gear and let it coast with your foot off the gas the engine does not use any gas. This doesnt seem completely logical but it probably uses slightly less than putting the car in N and coasting up to a stop. Safer to if you need to use power to avoid an accident or something

drove 94k on a stock clutch in a 350z never a problem.
so not sure what you mean about "hope your clutch lasts".......
