Okay, I'm back after reading up a little on DFCO. So it looks like it only engages over 2500 rpm for most vehicles, higher for some. So if you have to shoot for 4k rpm after your downshift to insure DFCO surely that's going to be at least a little more wear and tear on the clutch, right? I don't know about you guys, but I only give it enough throttle to keep from killing it when I change gears. (A little paranoid about burning out the clutch - if that wasn't obvious yet.)

My new burning question is, how do I find out when my car goes into and drops out of DFCO?
