Rev matching..

[PlanB]

What's the best way to do it..

Clutch in and blip or blip before?

Having clutch in will burn it i know that. Clutches are like tires, They take abuse and will need one sooner or later.

Mind you, I'm referring to normal city driving. I usually double clutch on a track.

IMO there is no need to rev match a tranny with synchros. Least of all for daily driving. HPDE may be a different story but I don't do much of that these days :lol:

Maybe I wanna be in the right gear to blow by the cop that just past me. haha.

I hate "bogging" the engine. 4th gear going like 20mph isn't really ideal...
Down shifting and not rev matching will cause the car the jerk a little too much.

I clutch in then blip while changing gear then release the clutch. Very smooth down shifts.

^ ditto. It takes a little time, but you learn the exact throttle tap you need.

I also tap the gas while I'm releasing the clutch. It's so fast that I doubt it even has time to burn/wear the clutch much..

Yeah, I check speed, and what rpm i'm currently at. It's a hit and miss sometimes. But i'm working on it.

It was a lot easier in my STi, the mini pedals take getting used to.

I rarely down shift... I just throw it in neutral and brake.

When I do I'll either blip the throttle or heel-toe.

This. It takes a bit of practice, but eventually passengers say your downshifts feel like a smooth, automatic tranny.
