Rev matching on downshift

[RedRocket]

Hi all,
Haven't been here in a while, just too busy at work. Still lovin' my 45. I've driven a few newer 35's and really enjoyed playing with the manual shift mode. The rev matching on downshifts is so cool. My '03 45 doesn't do that. Should it?
Thx for the input!

sorry to say it but nope, no rev-matching:frown:

do the 45's not have manumatic, or just you cant down shift? i couldnt imagine living without that feature.

 

[Dr.2K]

All the FX's have manumatic but the early models 03-05 45 VK's did not have rev matching on downshifts like the newer VQ's or VK's.

 

[RedRocket]

Thanks for the info. Any possibility of an upgrade to add the feature?

 

[Dr.2K]

I highly doubt this is possible. But no one has really looked into this either.

So which motor do I have if it is an 05' RWD? VQ Or VK?

 

[Dr.2K]

Since you have a 35 = VQ
45's = VK

 

[solekeeper]

Lol, guess that was pretty apparent. ^ Thanks!

My 08 does it... when did it change? 05/06 or so?

I have rev matching on my 08.

EDIT: Sorry didn't realize this was the FX45 section.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but I guess better than creating a new one haha
Do all 06 & up FX35,45 got rev-matching on downshift??
I would love to see some videos on rev-matching on downshift on FXs...
I have 05 so I guess I don't have that feature which I really love..

 

[StuLax18]

I could probably make a video, but there isn't really anything to see. Gear drops, revs go up.

I really wish I had known about this before I purchased an 05'. I did not do much research.

 

[HanJo Lee]

Yeah... I agree with drew855.
Stu please post the video!! I would really appreciated!!
I really like the noise when there is a rev matching and downshift

 

[StuLax18]

Not sure how well you can hear it, but I can get an in-cabin of what happens and maybe one from outside.

I didn't know the 06 FX had rev matching! That's awesome.

Is there anyway that I can make my 05 FX to sound like it has rev-matching haha
Will Transgo Shift Kit make any difference to be more sound like rev-matching engine when downshifting? What mods can be done to make my FX more sound like having a rev-matching engine noise when downshifting?
Maybe it's just better to get 06 & up FX lol
