Flat shifting is pretty slick!

were you steady over 5k

Yep. Tried a few times shifting between 5k and 7k and it didn’t act any different that any other manual when you shift while staying on the throttle.

I just feel like the more electronic helpers they add, the less skill it takes to drive.

Rev matching can be disabled in the settings.

is that strictly necessary though? It's not like today's shifters are as sloppy as yesteryear.

You're "pre-loading" your muscles at the same time, so you'd be getting the shift lever moving faster, sooner. No waiting for 'slop' to be taken up on the carbon-based side of the job.

But to really appreciate it we just need to go to sequential shifting and stop pussy-footing around.

it’s called NLTS in the tuner world, NoLiftToShift for you civilians

pfffft... tuners is kids who think putting a different name on things that have been around longer than they have makes it an all new thing they just 'discovered'.

Haha. When men were MEN!
I’m old enough to know how to power shift. This is different/made to do it and not hurt anything.
Just thought I’d share.

lol...I haven’t used shaving cream since the summer of 1992, when my drill sergeant (who didn’t believe mine grew that fast) made me dry shave in front of the platoon for a week

On my way home from work I had opportunities to experiment a little. Nothing held the RPM for a no lift shift. It acted at it should have and as I expected with RPMs increasing once clutch got pressed.

On my Ford Performance Tune version of NLTS you MUST be at WOT for it to engage, anything less and it's just your regular ole shift. When at WOT the NLTS kicks in and when you kick the clutch it locks your RPM's until the clutch re-engages.

I was WOT every time, just shifted at varying RPMs. Every time they went up as expected so when in the next gear and releasing clutch there was some nice tire chirps also expected. When I get the power pack for my car I'll have to try again to see if the tune makes it any different.

Pretty sure it's an '18 and up thing. Think I remember CJPonyparts talking about it and even the manual ecoboosts get it so they can keep boost while slamming gears. Not sure I can tell my feet to operate differently than I'm used to lol

only on the EcoBoosts, not GTs

For the 18+, it won't. Ford Performance said the car already had NLS...LOL

But I'm old. I had a 1971 GMC 1500 pickup with a 3 on the tree. One time I was driving and all of a sudden the shifter lost all resistance. Coasted off the road and looked under the truck and saw a linkage arm hanging where a pin had come out. Found a wire coat hanger behind the seat, crawled under the truck and wired the linkage back together, and was able to drive it home. Aah the good old days where everything was slow and nothing was complicated!

I had one of those trucks. Had a straight 6 with a 3 on the tree. What a gutless piece of truck. But it did do what was asked of it.

RPM was above 5,000 and drive mode was track too?

Drive mode was Sport+. Didn't think to try any other modes. I don't drive in any other modes usually. I don't want Snow/Wet to tell me what I can and can't do. Give me all the throttle all the time. But I'm totally fine with leaving TC and stability control on. I don't push the car nearly hard enough for those to hinder me.
