Default Smoother upshift or downshift?

Heya guys, I'm not sure if it's just me, but I noticed that my downshifts are a lot smoother than my upshifts.

Anyone got any pointers on how to make it smooth all around? ^_^

well if you're rev-match on your downshifts, it can sometimes not be felt at all. Upshifts however is harder just because you lose the power you were applying for a second, so you're always gonna move just a bit, regardless of how smooth you engage the clutch, just because there is not power supplied to the wheels in between shifts...

Sure you can shift fast as hell, but that is definately not gonna be smooth.

Was it always like this? Maybe you should change out the tranny fluid to see if this may help. My car seems to shift just fine...
