Those of you who drive/have driven a stick, did you typically rev match every down shift?
For a while I was double clutch rev matching every down shift. Lately I have stopped however.. If I'm slowing down to take a curve I'll typically drop to a lower gear at about 1200~ rpm which puts me into the next gear at about 1600 rpm. There is little to no 'jerk' and I'm not using gas to rev match. I still rev match if I need a lower gear to gain speed to avoid a hard jerk due to the higher rpms.
I feel like my current habit is more economical than rev matching every down shift.. But maybe I am putting more wear on my clutch than I realize?
