Nope, very smooth for me. Just need to rev higher. 👍 about a little more then a thousand rev higher. O.O

indeed, rev higher. I go to 2nd from 3rd when I'm at 44-42 dropping and it requires some revs.

Why would you rev a synchro box?

Synchros only eliminate the need to double clutch, but rev-matching is still needed for a proper downshift. Rev-match downshifting reduces stress on the drivetrain, prevents forward weight transfer, and reduces chances of wheel lock.



Going from 3rd to 2nd can be done smoothly as long as you rev-match properly, although it is a little more difficult to get smooth compared to downshifting from other gears (6 to 5, 5 to 4, and 4 to 3).

There's more shock on the drivetrain from not properly matching your engine and trans RPM. Rev matching is literally the exact opposite of shock loading.

And my point is that if your downshifting so aggressively that shock loading is an issue then you're either on a racetrack or doing something illegal lol
