SynchroRev Match clutchless shifting?

TreeSemdyZee · 04-09-2010, 06:02 PM

I answered a trivia question on a Nismo giveaway that referred to doing clutchless shiftless with the SynchroRev Match transmission. I tried it on the way home from work and it didn't work AT ALL. When I dropped out of gear, there was no engine blip and I absolutely could not get into the next lower gear.
Am I missing something?

Possibly a translation issue? I saw the same thing and thought the "clutch-less" was most likely referring to heel toe.

Yeah that'd make more sense. No way Nissan would be going around touting an easier air shift.

Yeah. I think it's a little bizarre that they are saying that. This is on a Nissan sweepstakes, not some third party, so I'm a little perplexed.
When I read "clutch-less", I thought "cool"!
