Whoever gave me this advice.... THANKS!

Try shifting slowly with the VDC off from 1st to second as well....see if you notice a difference...

Yeah, it's not SRM, it's the car, it freezes the rev for like a split second and then it drops and when you shift at that time it's perfect.

I just notice second is a little rough, but smoothes out a bit when fluid is up to temp. Did you guys notice a lot overall smoother shifting when you changed mt fluid out for redline?

Just take it to redline and the slip it into 3rd! That'll fix a bucking 1-2 in no time flat! Glad I could be of assistance!

No that's ok! You're

Yes I agree I shouldn't rely on SRM but I personally like driving with it and it's a feature I paid for so I have no problem using it.

lol whats SRM?
And enjoy your car!
You will miss it... I remember I was so jealous at my friend when with his right hand he was on cell and he shifted with his left hand...

other day i did the exact same thing without even noticing =)

IMO best way to practice your car is go on a VERY STEEP hill and try to stay in one spot... like put ur gear in first... go up for like 1sec... and press the clutch and let it drop for 1sec... and repeat it back and forth... its lot harder than it sounds...


BUT WE ALL STALL!!! so its all good... besides... u drive a 370z... no matter how u drive that thing... its still SEXYYYY =)

...that sounds like a good way to burn up the clutch to me.
And SRM = Synchro Rev Match
