Hi Guys,
I just want know if I can downshift while accelerating. For example: Going on the freeway at 65mph and downshift to 4th or 5th gear without letting go of the gas pedal (on MDM)... or do I have to first let go of the gas pedal and then drop to 4/5 gear?... still learning about the car.
If you have a DCT trans, you can do pretty much anything and it won't let you screw up. If you have a manual trans, flat foot upshifting is for the experienced and the brave and flatfoot downshifting is for the foolish and the brave. Ideally you should rev match if you are downshifting and trying to go fast, by blipping the throttle in neutral to bring the rpm up to about what it would be in the lower gear. This takes some practice. Helps the transmission synchros.
