Engine RPM when shifting 850

posted by  someone claiming to be andy on  Mon Sep 21 14:49 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Ive owned to FWD 5 speeds. Both of mine seem to hold the RPMs while shifting. Let's say I shift at 2500 rpms, the engine seems to rev up about 200 rpms, then starts to drop. Its makes it easier to shift without having to think as much about rev matching to avoid clutch wear.

Ive never seen mine act as yours does, revving at a stop into first or reverse. Do you think it's a problem, or does it just bug you? I can't think of any foul play, or any harm that might be going on in your engine or transmission.just make sure that you are engaging the clutch slow so you don't wear it down prematurely.

Are you in a cold climate?
