Just starting driving my new MT Fit. I noticed that my engine is revving up when I shift from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th, etc. I made double sure that I was not slightly pressing on the gas peddle. A friend of mine said Nissan MT vehicles did this to keep the engine from slowing down during shifting. Has anyone else noticed this revving up? I am only the second MT owner in Radcliff, so the sales guys have no clue. Thanks, Henry

Replying to: kaputnik (Mar 14, 2007 12:13 pm) It’s a new car and it takes time to get a feel for driving it. I’ve had a new Matrix for 3 months and only now able to avoid stalling it. That’s with over 10 years of experience driving a manual. What can I say – it’s easier to stall than my previous car.  Once you have a feel for it, you'll naturally minimize the revving.

Replying to: kaputnik (Mar 14, 2007 12:13 pm) I too have had 20 years of MT driving and got mine four weeks ago. I noticed a sound too when doing certain things, but it seemed to have more to do with changing surface area between roadway and driveway for example. Sometimes on gravel. I wonder if it has to do with the antilock brakes, which is something I never had in 20 years. Does the car automatically adjust the necessary brake control changes in different driving situations? It COULD be me, still getting used to the car as well but it seems to happen the same places all the time (driveway and work driveway with surface changes.) Anyone know? Going to ask on the brake board also.

Don't feel bad. I have been driving MT and I did some crazy stupid stuff waiting to get through the drive through car wash. I accidentally stalled it several times simply because I forgot it was still running. It is just so quiet and purrs. At another point, I tried to start it a second time. Doesn't work.  I wont make those mistakes again I hope. I also feel pretty good about the car, like I didn't kill it or anything. lol |

Replying to: fittman (Mar 15, 2007 3:54 pm) Is it possible that the antilock brakes are causing that rev? I dont have a clue what drive by wire throttle is, but perhaps that is it?
