Ok, go figure: my own technique was fooling me.Shadow wrote:Anything other than the mechanical drop of revs is caused by rev hang. Do your revs fall at the same speed in every situation? Or can they vary?daleadbull wrote: Its not rev hang per say, the revs drop at a steady rate but its just slower. I think zenfiz is also experiencing the same thing in his A4 per his previous posts.
After a lot of playing on the trip to Williamsburg and back, pulling the car out of gear at speed and just letting the RPMs fall, I could tell no difference between that process and revving the engine in neutral.
It turns out that I was seeing my own habit of letting the clutch out at the bottom of the RPM trajectory while actively performing a shift. Clearly this will slow up the RPM drop rate. So, for my A4, I detect no rev hang.
My bad.
So is my penance for misinterpreting my tach having to drive a P.o.T Cruiser for a week?
