Rev match

[Hockey4mnhs]

Do you guys rev match when putting it back in gear when p&ging. It makes it alot smoother but i was told it could be alot harder on the tranny.

I always rev match. Shock loading is always bad. I can heel and toe quite well.

I do, makes life easier for the drive train

i do when i pop it back into gear after coasting down a hill. i know about what rpm its at given a speed and try to get close to that before i let the clutch back out

[trebuchet03]

I do - much better for the transmission, clutch etc.

I can't see how rev matching is going to do anything but help the drive train and engine engage more smoothly. I don't think I'd be putting to much confidence in the source.

I have had a hard time rev-matching in an automatic transmission, seems to make the car jump worse. Haven't tried too much with my manual but need to work on a few techniques to get my clutch to last longer.

I ment auto trannys. Anyone do with there autos. ive gotten so good at it that passingers cant tell that ever took it out of gear unless they watch me do it.

Mr. Drover...

If you coast in Neutral and place it back into D, you rev-match -- so yup, you can with an auto.

All-

In other news, I rev-match the 'Teg to just about 500-750 RPM under expected final engagement. The engine's momentum with some throttle input allows a smooth match, then the TC thumps-in (at appropriate speeds).

The worst situation is to over-rev and bomb it. It's easier on it to clunk than slip.
