Hello.

I am working on a research project which involves simulating a sequential manual shifter from about 15 years ago (super touring era).

I have tried to contact gearbox manufacturers like xtrac and hewland but sadly they weren't able or weren't willing to hand over such figures.

What I am after is approximate figures for upshift and downshift in ms. I believe a modern version of such a gearbox will do an upshift in about 50-60ms, but I have no idea about a downshift.

Can anyone offer any kind of help?

Thanks

Ben.
