Thank you for clarifying. I’ve always been taught to do this since a young age so just always “rev match” and assumed that was the only way to shift to be honest. I never put much thought into it and I’ve been driving manual for almost 20 years on and off. Now I need to go try shifting without doing that.lol I would assume without rev matching it would be jerky when shifting though.Exactly. That is a great understanding. Now you can also rev-match downshift during braking. This is called heel-to-toe downshifting. So imagine you are cruising at 65mph in 5th gear and come to a corner that you have to slow down to 30 mph.
