Our cars do upshift rev-match: If you're in 2nd gear and push the clutch in, the revs fall down but hang for one second at the appropriate RPM to shift into 3rd. After that one second hang, the revs continue to fall.I’ll assume you mean down shift rev matching. Rev matching is a little easier on the clutch and transmission, but to each his own.
So far I think the hill hold assist is pretty cool. It works on my car just fine, surprising actually because I forgot I has it....new car.
never noticed this on mine. Does it do it on all gear changes or only on 2-3 gear shifts?Our cars do upshift rev-match: If you're in 2nd gear and push the clutch in, the revs fall down but hang for one second at the appropriate RPM to shift into 3rd.

Mine does it on all the gears, but it is the most noticeable on the lower ones when you are shifting at lower RPM's, especially before the engine is warmed up. Personally I wish it didn't have it, although I am hopeful we can get this new rev match.never noticed this on mine. Does it do it on all gear changes or only on 2-3 gear shifts?
I don’t think I’ve ever went from 3rd to 1st unless I rode the clutch in 3rd to a stoplight and then neutral shake and then into 1st.Can we start a door to door petition and send it to Ford performance? (ha ha)
Unrelated shifting "newbie" question: sometimes when I down shift (say I am at 2K RPM and I am trying to do a spirited downshift/ pass) I may jump down a few gears to land at 4 or 5k, and get the sleepy horse moving. But sometimes in a low gear like 3rd to 1st, I get jerking. Anyone else? Is that the clutch trying to grab, motor freaking, or ??? I don't think I am rev matching. If it doesn't want to go into that gear, I won't do it, but it the shifter takes it, so do I
Maybe I am beating the wife too much and she don't wanna play along anymore? (actually, I mostly baby her. I mean the car of course....)
I always pass thru neutral FIRST (I think), and I am not sure if I actually did that...it may of been from 4th the 2nd ....then again, it may of been 3rd to 1st....I don’t think I’ve ever went from 3rd to 1st unless I rode the clutch in 3rd to a stoplight and then neutral shake and then into 1st.
Anything to 1st downshifts were frowned upon at Ford Performance GT350 driving experience. Don’t think I’d recommend it either.
