geesus whats with using the rev limiter. i wouldnt do that too much. try to change at about 7500 for optimal gearchange cos when u hit the limiter the car is loosing momentum

[Screaminrolla]

i know my mate was driving, i usually change just before the limiter

[ZEEROLLA]

I usually bang the limiter at least once every gear when playing around otherwise the shifter is just too tight to shift. Also it gives you a higher speed as compared to revving to 7500rpm hence 2nd gear is easier to land in LIFT (6200rpm). I tried shifting at 7500rpm and playing with the clutch but it doesn't work, lands at 5500rpm max unless i am driving downhill.

I'll second that. ;)

If you want ANY hope of landing back in lift, you have to shift above 8000rpm.

Otherwise it's an eternity until you get back there.

hmm ive never really had to go over 7800rpm approx. Its taken me a while but i can land lift at about 6300 max. Had the car for 1.4years and only recently been able to do this.

Can you do that close to 100% of the time? Because if you are driving even slightly downhill you will land in LIFT easier. The only way i would be able to land above 6200rpm every shift is to hit rev limit on a level road, or to flat shift (never tried) or perform a super fast shift which i can perform in the other cars i have owned but not in the Stivo as i am paranoid about crunching 2nd gear which i have done on more than a few occassions already.

twice today, while driving in peak hour, i tried to down shift from 3rd to 2nd, to get that quick burst of speed to duck into a gap in another lane, and both times it wouldnt go in!

ive decided no more down shifts like that, gets abit dangerous especially if u get stuck and you move too slow and get collected by another car. a technique to get around it is to shift into neutral first, then clutch again, into 2nd, but that takes too much time.

I HAVE DONE ABOUT 45000 ON MY ROLLA SPORTIVO , AND I HARDLY HAVE A PROBLEM DOWNSHIFTING , ONLY PROB I HAVE IS SOMETIMES UPSHIFTING AT 7800 ESP GOING TO THIRD
