2019 Mustang GT (Manual) auto rev matching

[stannypack]

I learned manual a couple months ago, and was nice finding out all GTs have rev match. Now I just have rev match on for stop and go city traffic, every other time it's fun to do it yourself

2019 and up do. 2015-2018 doesn't.

Do the older manual's (18-19) not have NLS? I had zero rev hang on normal or full throttle upshifts / downshifts on my 21 base model. I never tested to see if it had NLS before getting the Ford performance tune, but that was pretty amazing. Perfectly matched 100% of the time.

admit it it's because you want to hear that loud exhaust.

And terrorize Arlington. Though I guess if you can say "hey copper, it's the car revving to match road speed to engine speed" you're less likely to get a Fix-IT ticket.

Definitely this too, that downshift into 2nd pulling up to the light is

Oh and also downshifting when going under overpasses is just amazing with my mbrp race

I thought it was concluded here that NLS does not exist at all on Mustang GT, not even with the Ford performance tune? The only Mustang GT to get it was Mach1?

I was flipping through my manual the other day and saw no lift shifting mentioned (if equipped)

but idk how to tell if my car has it, try powershifting and see if anything blows lol?

it doesn't. but give us a headsup before you go tearing down 395 South so we can station observers at the overpasses to document the experiment.

Not sure if it was present on mine prior to the tune, but it was absolutely there after it was installed. Car has to above a certain RPM which I believe was 5,000 and throttle had to be 75% or greater to activate the NLS. Its definitely a leap of faith testing the 1st time, but once you've got it, it's amazing to use on the 1-2, and 2-3 shifts.

18-19 will need to add a WOT Box in order to have NLS. I went through this about a year ago when I had to have NLS and it works perfectly.

Honestly the only thing you have to lose is you'll hit the rev limiter momentarily. You'll know instantantly if the revs sky rocket when the clutch is pushed in. If it does just ease off the throttle and upshift normally. No harm, no foul.

A gear crunch is also a possibility if it doesn’t have NLS. The WOT Box kills the ignition in milliseconds to allow the shift to occur without the gear crunching. I can’t imagine the factory NLS is any different.

 

[shogun32]

it's not the 'gear crunch' so much as killing the ignition keeps the RPMS under control instead of zooming. So the RPM mismatch between engine out and trans input is less and thus easier on the clutch plates. The trans syncros behave the same regardless of NLS once the power is removed from the input shaft.
