My problem with the rev match system isn't actually the rev matching, it's the rev hold on upshifts. The downshifting part is what it was intended for, but I guess they also thought upshifting needed a hand.

Don't really think it's a badge of honor, more that I feel more connected to the car when I downshift. Also it's super rewarding to do myself 😅, never a bad thing to have an extra skill!
Wait, I didnt think Rev Match system is connected to Rev Hang in our cars. Is it? Rev Hang has been around for a while for other models as well. Getting Hondata can disable that.

I don't think this is rev hang, because it completely disappeared when rev match was disabled. I also don't think rev hang holds your rpm at the correct value for a smooth shift.

Interesting. I might have to try it and see if I notice any difference if the rev match is off. I personally like it though... lol

before I turned off the auto rev match, I noticed that it seems that sometimes got confused between up and downshifts. i.e. I intended to upshift, and it reved higher as if I was going to downshift. but that's not "rev hang".

btw, I definitely had a rev hang in my 07 FA5, which did not have auto rev match.

the way I adapted to the rev hang in the FA5 was to lift off the throttle a bit earlier, and keep clutch disengaged just slightly longer.

Yeah, definitely on my 08 FA5 was my first encounter but disabled it with Flashpro lol
