why is he blipping the throttle to upshift when he should be letting the revs die to match the cogs. He’d never have got thro’ a Class 1 test in Blighty with a Fuller 'box in our day! lol :laughing: . Robert

There is some method to that madness Robert at least on the flat.Just like matching the revs when you’ve shifted into neutral as part of a clutchless/floated upshift.Or possibly even having missed a shift,leaving the choice then of either re match the engine road speed perfectly or stop and start again.IE it’s just a method of rematching the engine speed if the revs have fallen below the road speed during an upshift.

Well yes, of course: all of us who drove constant-mesh 'boxes understand that! And I did it when necessary. Italians did it all the time though. I remember listening in amazement to the their progress up from Dover through Kent in the old days! Robert
