sorry to bump an old thread...but id really like to see this poll taken by others. ive been driving with SRM off for the last 100 miles or so. at first when i turned it off, i realized how lazy and SLOW my shifting has become. i will shift and the revs will drop too low and ill jerk back, but once i go back to shifting like a non SRM car, then my shifts are smooth again! ive totally become spoiled by SRM (since it holds revs between gears)
however, once going back to SRM, ive realized its kind of a pain to have on...i mean aside from the simple, idiot proof downshifts (my first downshift with SRM off lead to a jerk...totally forgot to rev-match). with SRM on, ive come to not really like the fact that it holds revs between gears. my shifts have become jerky with it on now, as the revs are not dropping fast enough, so its jerking forward.
who else has experienced the difference in driving with SRM on/off?? i ask because i feel that if i get into another 5mt/6mt, i'd be embarrassed at how jerky my shifting is, thanks to the SRM making me a lazy shifter!
