My 2.3L with the manual seems to have a lot of rev hang. Let's say I'm in 2nd gear at 3k RPM and I want to shift up to 3rd. If I shift to 3rd quickly it will jolt and jump the revs down to about 2k. So ideally I'd want to wait and let the revs drop before clutching out. Problem is it legit takes about 4 seconds for the revs to drop by 1k RPM. So to rev match perfectly, say I'm at 3k rpm, I have to clutch in, hold clutch in for at least 3 seconds, revs will now be at about 2k rpm, shift, clutch out. That's the only way it will shift smoothly. And no I'm not flat foot shifting.
What's weird is I don't really see anyone mentioning it on this forum, and I watched some POV driving videos on Youtube of the same car and didn't notice any issue with it.
Is there some way to drive/shift to reduce rev hang? My stick shift driving experience mainly comes from a 20 year old BMW track car so it's probably quite different, it has a lightweight flywheel, upgraded clutch, etc. With that car, by the time it takes me to shift (half a second or so) the revs have already dropped enough to rev match perfectly.
Maybe I'm shifting incorrectly on the Bronco? Is there some trick to it? Or is my vehicle the only one that has this issue? If I let the clutch out slower obviously I can reduce this problem somewhat, but then wouldn't I be riding the clutch and increasing wear? Has anyone had this issue?
