I'm still a little nervous as to what would happen with a lightweight flywheel. "It snaps the throttle open exactly the right amount . . ." assuming a stock flywheel weight in its calculations for how much throttle is needed?

This is the first time Ive seen wear and tear benefits mentioned in a article about this system, but its one of the first things that came to mind when I read about it awhile back. Having owned used cars all my life, I am familier with worn synchros from "hotshoes" or people who do not know how to drive a manual. Having a manual that has a worn synchro in one gear really takes away from the driving experience.
I would assume that this system, if used regularly, would probably make the tranny synchros last much much longer.

& would no doubt drive in the off mode a lot of the time. But I find that surprising, unless I'm just not understanding. .... if the system is doing it for you, how is that invasive? Don't you just drive & enjoy creamy smooth downshifts without the added effort? I thought that would be a benefit in daily driving. |

Just my 02 cents... everyone's opinion will vary of course. Major kudos to Nissan for making it an on-off feature (and stays that way even when you restart the car). |

Very interesting. Please expand on why the turning off because of being intrusive. If you love to heal toe yourself, sure makes sense.
I only test drove so far since mine has not be delivered, but I loved it for that drive. The blipping seemed dead on. |

I just find downshifting / heal & toe too fun. I really, really like the synchro rev match feature. But I could see myself getting tired of it if I were leaving it on on a daily basis. Just personal preferences... |

Gee, I hope you're not referring to TerribleONE's avatar.
