A dual mass flywheel is not going to make shifting feel rougher.

If anything, it shifts smoother as a result.

I think you'll notice most of the comments come from people that have spent time behind the wheel of quite a few high performance rwd cars...

I've never had a complaint about the shifting in my Z. The clutch sensation is... different, but shifting through the gates is fine, nothing special, but fine.

big difference between my old rsx-s and the z in smoothness of the transmission. not horrible, but it did take some getting used to.

The RSX-S was a very tight car. They'll always have a special place in my heart.

One of my ex's had an non-S RSX when I knew her years ago. It was a wonderful little car. It's a shame they cancelled those.
