Hello gents. I usually just read a lot on your wonderful site, and learn a lot. Unfortunately, we do not have very many manual transmissions in the USA and this interesting item came up on the Brickboard.com:

When shifting gears, the 2.4L 20Valve engine increases rpms for a second or two before responding to the throttle being closed. Is this normal? Does this happen because of our smog related hardware? The rpms only increase about 50 or so, not a real big deal but still frustrating.

It is still too cold for me to work in my garage, otherwise my throttle body would be off and on the workbench. If this is known to be a computer generated 'problem', the few of us that have manual transmissions will stop looking for the non-existant problem.

Thank you so much,

Klausc
