i always rev match (heeltoe). i just can't think of any reason anybody would not rev match to a lower gear driving a manual car.

I also revmatch 100% of the time. Why put shock on your drivetrain for no reason? only noobs downshift and let the clutch out and jerk the car into a downshift. That's why i dont let noobs drive my car. my neck is sore afterwards and my differential bushings (and every other bushing in the car) thanks them

Same here. I don't even think about it. I usually rev match 6-4-3...clutch in and stop.

Maybe you just need to learn how to drive. And brakes are for slowing you down. Downshifting is to be in the correct gear if you either have to take off quickly again, or are trying to be in teh correct gear to exit a corner after braking to enter it. Downshifting is NOT to slow you down, on teh street OR on teh track. If it wore your brakes out noticeably faster to use your brakes instead of downshifting, then automatic cars would have brakes wearing out very fast. Does an automatic 3 series use up it's brakes faster in daily driving than a manual trans one? I'd like to see stats on that.

i would have to say it only jerks if u completely step off the clutch very quickly. otherwise i just let the clutch absorb the "jerkiness" of the car jumping a couple hundred rpm's.... 21k miles still on original clutch if anyone thinks im harming/burning the clutch that way.

With an ABS equipped car, you cannot add anymore braking force than the tires will allow. your brakes can already provide more force than the tires allow, which is what makes ABS come on in maximum effort stops. Which means it's physically impossible to add to your braking in your GTO with engine braking. You can replace one with the other (engine braking is slower) but you cannot add them together and get more than the brakes can do on their own UNLESS the brakes are already fading and can no longer lock up the tires/invoke ABS.

[QUOTE=94JZA80;6193163]
this is only partially correct. it is true that rev-matching is unnecessary with modern synchros b/c it will effectively prevent you from grinding gears. however it is not true that synchros will completely eliminate the "jerk" you'll typically feel when downshifting without rev-matching. the fact of the matter is that the synchros only cushion the blow. they make it possible to make "less-than-perfect" shifts - that is, they sync the drivetrain rpm and the engine rpm when they are not equal (for instance when someone downshifts without rev-matching, or when someone's rev-match is less than perfect). before synchros, this would have resulted in grinding gears - synchros prevent that to a certain extent...but they do not emilminate drivetrain "jerk."[/.quote] No, they don't completely eliminate it. Just taking the same fraction of a second it takes to bring the revs up to let the clutch out smoothly, however, will eliminate it. trust me, I've been driving manual trans cars for 30+ years. it's not that hard to do. Quote:
In fact, there is more wear on the clutch (in fact the most wear) when slipping it to accellerate off the line as that's when the car has the most inertial desire to stay put, and you have to get 2000-4000 lbs of mass moving from a stop (which is why you don't want to do it in any higher gear than necesary unless a special situation warrants it, like starting on ice)
