Wait, so I'm not the only one with a crappy shifting Toyota C5x transmission? Before changing the fluid, it wouldn't even go into 1st gear unless I had rev matched it to within 100rpm.
I got pretty good at rev matching and timing my upshifts so that the synchros didn't have to do much work. Recently I've gotten tired of slow upshifting so I just stir the gravel extra hard. Oh and of course, I double clutch every single upshift and some of my downshifts too.
