Anyone have any tips? I'm guessing practice makes perfect is going to be the standard response.
When I first got my 350 I had a problem with feeling like the engine was dumping out after an up shift and reengaging the clutch. And it was because I would completely lift my foot off the throttle when actuating the clutch. So i didn't have a smooth rev match on the upshift. So I began only partially lifting off the throttle during shifts - enough to reduce load off the transmission, but not so much to allow rpms to drop very much. This worked wonders for smoothing out upshifts.
