When I push in the clutch on both my trucks, to change gears, the engine continues to rev for at least a second at whatever rpm I'm at or even increases a little. Is it supposed to do this? It seems to me like on the automatics I've owned, when the engine was revved, the rpm dropped more quickly. Is this damaging anything or can it be fixed? And yes I know to let off the gas when pushing in the clutch.

i own a repair shop,and yes that is normal,for it to do this,all the standard shift computer controlled engines do this,it doesn't hurt a thing on it,it actually helps it some,it keeps it from falling too low as you change from one gear to another,this prevents what is called drag,and makes the clutch disc last longer,and doesn't let the vehicle stall out,but its normal ,your alright on these good luck i hope this help,s.

beiung both late eighties models, they probably have carburators or throttle bodies. they may require cleaning and/or rebuilding. spray them both with carb cleaner and get all the build up off. if that fails, try to adjust them, otherwise they'll have to be rebuilt.
