I haven't owned a manual trans car since the 80s, and though I was aware of rev hang, it's really bad (2015 Fit).
Shifting 1-2 is clumsy affair and as an added bonus, it grinds a bit going into second, so I either double-clutch it (sometimes) or time it so as the revs decrease, it goes into second nicely. What controls this? The IACV? Has anybody come up with any tips, techniques or tricks to mitigate its effects? I know, "engineers know best, leave it alone, that's how its designed" but it greatly distracts from the driving experience.
