I do appreciate you reading the other thread. But, as I relate in my last post just above, I still don't see what the problem is with the 6 to 4 shift (or any other shift involving two even gears or two odd gears). Maybe I just don't understand what it is you are trying to point out about these types of shifts.

I have tried this many times myself, most recently a couple of weeks ago, when I had a DCT loaner for a day, and was trying to convince myself that I did not want it, in preference to a 6MT.....  |
