What is the proper way? I know the consensus of manual drivers is:

-Foot off gas
-Clutch in
-Blip
-Shift to lower gear

But i've noticed the revs drop EXTREMELY fast when clutching in on my 04 because I guess the DBW?. Do you guys leave your foot on a drop or is this really bad?

I think it's just the physics of the engine that determines how quick the revs drop, not the fact that it's DBW.

I have an MT and if I think the flywheel is spinning slower than the clutch I just nudge the gas a little bit when I slip the clutch back in, works nicely.

If you're just at steady acceleration with foot barely on gas, do you take your foot of it when clutching in?

Aman

If I was accelerating slowly I wouldn't need to downshift anyways.

This is why you would upgrade your clutch and flywheel. The lighter the flywheel, the slower the revs drop. Remember, you're driving a 4 door sedan. Not a Ferrari. The car comes stock for comfort and cruising, not stiff and sporty.

I think you have that backwards....

Lighter flywheel = faster revving (including how fast they drop)

Worst think is when people are upshifting and just let off the gas entirely in our cars. Dont do that and it is so much more butter.

I thought you're suppose to full let out or else you're "powershifting" kind of which is bad for clutch/tranny?

Ooops! T'is what i mean.
