High RPM between gears

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    My car exhibits this same function.  It's like having a ten ton
flywheel, shifting just feels so damn slow all of the time.  I watch the
tach and when I shift it sort of hangs then slowly comes back down.  I
really wish I had the flywheel lightened those two times I had the
transmission down.  If I try to shift to quickly it just jars the car way
too much and it surely ain't good for any drivetrain part.  I thought this
was normal for these cars, anyone?

TIA,
