hi there guys i have an 06 350
whenever i change gears the rev meter goes up and down then it adjust itself i was wondering what do i need to fix

 

It sounds like you need to learn to shift smoother.

What you are describing is natural. If you are going 60kph in 3rd gear at a specific RPM, when you shift to 4th, it's going to take less RPMs to go 60kph. The needle is has to drop.

Look at the action of shifting - you let off the gas and depress the clutch so RPMs will drop. You change gears. Now depress the gas and RPMs will rise and let out the clutch wich causes them to drop as the engine syncs up to the speed of the transmission and car.

Over time, you'll learn exactly how much gas pedal to press and you're shifting gears so that there is a smooth transition between shifts but RPMs will always be changing with gear changes.

 

If you disengage the clutch with your foot on the gas - RPM will jump up. One you engage the clutch RPM will drop because you are adding drive train resistance to the motor.

Try a bit of throttle when you engage the clutch. That should give you a smooth transition. Practice makes perfect.

 

Or get an automatic. It'll do all that difficult shifting for you, and you can enjoy just steering the car around, like I do.

 

This is a joke, right?

 

Actually I might know what he's talking about. My RPMs, unless I'm on decel, will jump up slightly after pushing in the clutch and hang there for a split second. I don't recall my Accord, Eclipse, or Celica doing that.

 

Depending on the timing, yes you might notice a small bump. When you release the gas pedal, the ECU holds the throttle open (or delays the closing) for an instant. Since you're unloading the engine, it naturally wants to rev. Every fuel injected Z car that I've driven has had a similar feature.

The big question is - why are you looking so closely at the tach and not the road?

 

I'm not looking at the tach, I'm looking at the speedo, lol. The tach just happens to be right next to it.

 

Whats it mean when I push the clutch in and it jumps 250rpms? I'm saying with gear in neutral.

 

^^ you've got some other problem. In neutral, there should be virtually no change in RPMs when the clutch is depressed or released since you have virtually no load on the engine.

 

It's not supposed to do that.

 

^^He says it is lol

 

Ok. Feel better about yourself

 

Lol. C'est la vie. Overall I've gotten used to the quirks of my car and I love it

 

That's what matters. If it doesn't disappoint when you put your foot down, then it's not the car

 

Not exactly. I'm saying that depending on the timing of when you let off the gas and when you depress the clutch, the throttle may be open to a position that would cause the RPMs to bump up. It's not by design, it's purely a matter of timing.
