First to Second Rev Match?
Strange issue, this only happens while rev match is turned on for my 7mt car. Sometimes when shifting from first to second gear the throttle will blip up to 3500 rpm or so for no reason...when it should be dropping as i was shifting from first gear at a much lower rpm.
Has anyone seen this? Does it anticipate that i was going to skip-shift into 4th gear but then gets confused when i go into second?

Rev match works best if you don't delay gear lever movement and clutch application. I use this function often, cycling rev match on and off as driving conditions dictate. There is a feel that you acquire.

Cool i just don't want it to accidentally throttle blip an upshift while I'm at the track and kick the *** end out, as long as this is something normal that happens and not mine being broken it's all good.

Sounds like the car isn't really sure what gear you are intending to go to if you linger in the neutral part of the gate too long. Perhaps it is thinking you are going back to first? I don't quite get the rationale behind up shift rev matching anyway. Does it actually suppress revs as you are up shifting to match the higher gear?
