2908, RE: Matching rev for syncros in downshifting Posted by Michael_97RS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
The closer the engine rpms is to the driveshaft rpm, the less the syncros have to work, and the less wear they get. I almost always give the throttle a blip when downshifting, to bring the rpms back up. Using pedal covers works well for this, a simple roll onto the gas pedal while braking and you can downshift while maintaining a steady brake pressure.
