What is your opinion on the 370's SyncroRev match manual

M3350Z · 11-19-2008, 08:47 PM

I just read off of Nissan's website that the manual transmission (not automatic) will match rpm's when downshifting and the like. I'm not sure if this is old news but how do you guys feel about this?

I'm a die hard manual fan and would take a clutch and shifter over paddles no matter how much faster the paddles are. This rpm matching might be a little obtrusive in taking away from the experience of driving a manual. How do you feel?

(sorry if this is a repost)

What exactly is it? It automatically blips the throttle when you downshift?

Greeney · 11-19-2008, 09:58 PM

Basically

I dunno. Sounds pretty tight to me. If there's a way to switch the system on and off I'd really consider it.

Could be the perfect solution to traffic.

Um, doesn't the 335i do that already?

you're probably thinking of synchromesh.

Amir87 · 11-19-2008, 10:41 PM

On my 06 TL that was 6-speed, the ECU would revmatch on the upshift, only when not WOT. Like if I was in 3rd gear 5000rpms, Push in the clutch and the RPM's would drop and hold for a few secs at a certain RPM before going all the way down.

Wish I could explain it better.

IT'S OPTIONAL FEATURE!! it's not included in the regular manual tranny.

i thought it was a typo that the manual would rev match. honestly, this is an awesome option. i, too, hope theres something like an on/off switch.

EvilTuna7 · 11-20-2008, 01:04 PM

It's definitely a cool feature, but i'll stick with using my feet. Not to mention, what happens when you switch to another car and wonder why the car shakes violently when you downshift.

i think that button on the shifter is what we are talking about here.

graider · 11-20-2008, 02:29 PM

it is confirmed by nissan, you can turn on/off this feature. I think it is a cool option.

gshb · 11-20-2008, 06:28 PM

just finished watching the video of how all the tech works. synchromatch is pretty cool and you can switch on/off at will. pretty awesome...

!Xoible · 11-20-2008, 07:12 PM

that's just horrible! why would i drive a car that does that... how the car knows which gear im gonna shift into? what if i change my mind in the middle of the shift so i have it in 4th, then put it in 3rd then 5th or back to 4th before i release the clutch?

wtf... leave my 6MT alone fuckfaces, i already dread the fucking hill-fucking-assist

i got so mad when i read it, i didnt even read the rest or check the vid yet....

cool shit... i'd opt for it, in case my dad would wanna drive my car... hahah

whyrms · 11-20-2008, 07:26 PM

Guys, It's an option, if you want it, get it, if you don't then don't get it, and if you're undecided, there's an on/off button.

As for the feature itself, i think it's great for people who likes to decide to get the manual because they can step on the clutch anytime they want, and feel that you have control over your car, but are not skilled enough for h-t. I belong to that category, my leg isn't very flexible...and I suck.

gshb · 11-20-2008, 07:27 PM

damn youuu khaaan. and wuts wrong with hill assist anyway. have you driven on california in sf? all i see is fucking sky when im at the top....
