I'm not sure this is really worthy of it's own thread, but I just wanted to share a nugget of information I came across on the American GR forums. Someone has discovered that you can get rid of rev hang with a fairly simple fix - under the dash, there's a switch located at the top of the clutch pedal, which is depressed when the pedal is up. If you simply unplug the blue connector for it, the rev hang disappears.
Unfortunately, it's not without compromise. The same switch is also used by the gear indicator on the dash, and the cruise control module, so both only operate when the clutch pedal is released. So this little hack will mean you lose access to both those functions. However, that seems to be all - the clutch in/engine start switch is a different one at the bottom of the pedal, and no CEL is displayed.
I've just experimented with it myself and went for a short drive around with the switch disconnected and I'm pretty sure there's a difference. Shifting felt smoother, without that little lurch you sometimes get if you shift too quickly without compensating for the extra rev hang. It felt a little more natural to me, like I could shift without thinking about it as much, not having to consciously slow myself down...not that I was banging through gears as fast as possible or anything, but I find you have to be slow down a little and be more measured when the rev hang is present.
If that was the only effect then I'd happily leave the switch unplugged. But mines a daily and I don't want to lose cruise control (or the gear display really, just 'cos), so I plugged it back in. But if you don't mind losing those functions, or you just want to experiment, then it's a pretty innocuous thing to try and easily reversed by just plugging the switch back in.
