Hello, this is my third MT car in a row... not like I'm a noob at driving stick hahah.
Yup, that's it. Both the symptom and the third-party reaction. Nice to know I have so much company. I now just wait it out (going into second), but often have to blip the throttle to match the revs again. Rev-matching on the up shift? That's right.
