Thanks. i did know that to be honest.I have been driving cars with a manual gearstick for 29 years but never blipped the throttle on the downshift.Unless you are racing i don't think you are going to lose that much speed by not doing it and letting the revs catch up.I sometimes use it as a way to slow the car down too by changing down a gear and letting the clutch off.Not quite so easy in the 370z as the clutch is a bit high sprung and the biting point so small.
I will add i have had the rev match off for a few days and find the car a lot smoother to drive.Especially the first to second gear change. |
