Default My rev matching is dying

Has anyone ever experienced a sporadic failure of the rev matching? It started as just a couple missed shifts one day then it was several another day, today it would fail to rev match on about 25% of down shifts. I emailed my service person at the dealer to make an appointment.

I always thought when electronics broke they were 100% broken.

Definitely sounds like a gremlin. Did you notice if the cluster was still showing Sport mode? Sounds like an intermittent switch problem.......Phil

Hmm...mine missed a shift today and I dismissed it as something random. Now I'm interested to hear what you learn.

To be honest I have never noticed a sport indication but I'm oblivious to say the least. I'll pay attention to the cluster next time I drive it.

It's like training wheels for your first bike. The transmission is trying to wean you from the assist.

Seriously I hope it's just a simple intermittent switch.

This thread is hilarious. Someone's rev matching is dying and people are posting videos of how to do that function manually. I can't wait until he asks for help when his car is dying and people respond with videos on how to ride a horse.

I can't heel toe in this car at all because of the way the pedals are placed. Was much easier to do it when I had a manual Scion tC. Rev matched like a boss.

then u need to do 4 things;

1. change shoe (something with less cushioning)
2. cover even less of the brake pedal (i get by with 1/3 coverage or less)
3. pedal extension kit
4. drive faster and brake more dramatically

Cheapest track shoe around - Converse All Stars. Thin and great pedal feel.
