I have a 2012 defender 90 2.2 litre it doesn't do this. My old TD5 disco used to hold revs while changing and was a pain until I took it to get chipped in Adelaide the guys asked me how I drove the thing. Apparently there is a switch on the clutch that when depressed makes the engine revs drop. They put in a new switch and it was so much easier to drive.

Yes thats the one. I havent put the bridge back on mine since though. After the PCM update I just got used to it. Shifts fine now
I'm the same. The PCM update helped, but for me it also required a change in driving style. I have no problem with it now.Quote:

I really dont mind the revy issue, just have to adjust your driving and it's all good once you get used to it.

The result is, it (2.2 MY12) now gear changes like a "normal" Defender
Very interesting thread. I will have to mention it to my folks as their MY12 is a turd when it comes to shifting and the accelerator response!
