So exactly what is done differently by a"driver who was taught to match revs on an upshift" and a driver that doesn't when both are driving aggressively and shifting near the redline? When driving like that I'm just trying to get a quick gear shift done to get the engine reengaged to put power down. I could/can do that without issue in numerous other Hondas, but not in my TSX. I cannot see how I am trying to match revs like you keep implying.
Exactly!
They sit and wait for the revs to drop before engaging the clutch, which with rev hang I agree could be annoying if trying to drive aggressively like that. Perhaps that's not you, I have no idea. But in the past when I've queried folks who loudly complain about rev-hang more often than not that's what they are complaining about.
LOL, sitting-and-waiting during shifting is the polar opposite of shifting aggressively. I would argue that those that shift slowly and/or wait while shifting are folks who would not notice the rev hang. And conversely those that drive and shift aggressively (i.e. - trying to make quick shifts to maximize getting power down) are the people who notice rev hang precisely because the ECU doesn't let the revs drop naturally and -- from my experience -- making it darn near impossible to get clean quick shift in lower gears.
Not in everyone's case, unfortunately.
Well that's unfortunate!
