Quote: Blipping the throttle of course lessens the load on the synchro and shortens wait time.
Or one could say, it brings the flywheel speed up to the 2nd gear speed.
Yes, but that's not the important part. It's the clutch plate that has to be brought to the same speed as the internal gears the synchro is trying to engage. Blipping the throttle with *clutch engaged* uses the engine to bring the clutch disc up to gear speed.
