Do you guys rev-match?
someone told me that when u downshift, you should kind of rev it up a bit to keep the Rpm's there and save ur clutch. i mean i do it sometimes.only like if i wanna race, so from 50 i rev match into 2nd gear but 5th-4th i usually dont. How many of you rev-match?

I always try and do it, when you downshift and your car "jumps" from the increase in RPMs its more strain on the clutch and the whole drivetrain, Im not saying your going to blow your rear from a simple downshift but its more strain, so if you can why not prevent it

Depending on the situation (such as a stop light) i put in N or push the clutch in till a stop, then back to first. however if i am slowing down because of traffic, i shift down to third and it usually never jumps unless im going 45 in fourth then back to third, then it jumps and since i usually not going that fast its not a big deal.
