I was watching that Hoovies Garage bloke driving his manual converted Ferrari.
He was discussing how it changes gear better if the throttle is made to decelerate slowly on gear change.
Something to do with the mass of the flywheel.
I assume it's light for various reasons, but down side is the lack of rpm hang being light and lack of momentum.
It reminded me to try again holding the revs as i change gear and it does change a lot smoother.
Especially the first to second change.
I wondered if the throttle could be modded some way to make it hang slightly.
I thought if a cupboard soft closer was against the throttle lever.
Better if programmed in with brake cutout.
I looked at the ones on my cupboards, they are all broke! A sort of damping piston.
I came across similar on Dad's old Humber Septre. It had a dash pot on the throttle linkage, said to be for emission purposes.
I think on sudden throttle close, excess fuel would be drawn otherwise.
