Syncromesh is for wimps
Discussion
Hi,
A common problem with 944s is wiped out syncromesh. Mines been like it for five years, impossible to 'normally' change down in first, second or third without massive drivechain judder.
MAN UP and learn to drive properly and heel and toe it.
I love it. Proper skill of changing down and matching revs as you chuck it into the local roundabout like a 1930s Le Mans racer.
It teaches you to be gently, sympathetic and treat the drive chain with respect and feel.
The less driver's aids the better.
Anyone with similar feelings to yet another 'aid' that distracts from the pure expereince of driving?

To be frank, i've never really understood the distinction between double declutching - rev the engine in between shifts to match engine revs (guess) and heel and toeing withioout DDC where you just rev to match engine revs once as you come down.
probably we dont know the difference any more in this lost art i am promoting.
And yes, of course there is drive train slack in my old car! lol.
