Really fun to do too, and much smoother when accelerating hard.. and MUCH faster. No brainer for sure. Also makes a really cool "whoomp" sound on upchange when you flatshift, almost like full throttle pdk sound
So basically you are saying it's good because it's almost like PDK in every way? Why not go all the way then?
It works, but you guys be careful. I have now tried this many times in my car under different circumstances. Not sure if this is limited to my car, but when doing a flat-shift from 1st to 2nd gear, the computer misses it 50% of the time and does not work. Going through the rest of the gears, it works as it's supposed to.
I would appreciate some input from other MT owners regarding the 1st to 2nd gear flat-shifts. Just want to know if this glitch is limited to my car, and I need to take it in.
I've really taken a liking to the no-lift shift in the MT. I don't have the issue you're describing. It works perfectly every time. It does only "hold" the RPM of the next gear for a few seconds (like the auto blip downshifts) but I've never had the computer "miss", whether I'm 20%, 50% or 100% throttle.

What do you mean by missing exactly? The car still goes into second, no?
I think CJ understands that you can't over-rev with the throttle, but someone will speedshift into the wrong gear and there will be no hope of saving it. Many years ago I miss-shifted my BMW and as I was letting out the clutch I could feel the engine spin up and the car rapidly slowing. I was able to immediately push the clutch back in before any damage. I wasn't shifting fast or at red-line so I had some room but it still remember the sinking feeling.
