they just yank it outta the spot, put a dolly on the rear tires and jack the front

when i park i have the e-brake up and either 2nd or 3rd gear. i dont realy know how to rev-match :blush: so i just downshift and get off the clutch but not like popin of the clutch
|
Almost always e-brake and in first gear.
Rev match when I down****, but I don't downshift too often. |
park, e-brake , sometimes i put it in first,
after my incident with my auto starter i dont' put it in first till i get that thing out Downshift all the time, not just to save brakes but its just something for me to do while i'm driving, i find it more fun , makes u a better manual driver too with practice |
I downshift all the time, I don't worry about rev matching, thats why my car has syncros!!
|
I park and stick it in First all the time. I downshift, mostly when anticipating a stop from far away. I don't Rev Match though, usually when I down shift I won't downshift anything above 2500RPMS so the downshift is still smooth without needing to Rev match.

e-brake... remote started+in gear = bad
|
In my old car I had to use bricks behind my tires because me ebrake didn't work......
I dont like leaving it in gear |
gear only, no ebrake
downshift not so much.... I just leave it in gear and hit the clutch when the rpm in that gear approaches like a 1000.... let the brakes do the rest. |
Originally posted by SilverSleeper I used Park in 1st with the E Brake on. However as I'm using the Remote Starter more often its been all about the E-Brake. I down shift quite a bit and rev match all the time I do. |

Originally posted by starboy869 Are you still pressing in the clutch pedal? If yes then you are still wearing down clutch & it related components. Rev-matching (just like it says) means your keeping the engine at the same rpm as the tranny (matching the rpm of the tranny)...if your good and smooth at it...you shouldn't be wareing down anything...and everything, including you clutch will last longer.. Honestly, do it however you like, thats why I opened this thread. I wanted to know how everybody else did it and why.... :) |
if that was the case then clutches would never need to be replaced and would last forever.
Thats like saying, everytime you hit the brakes, its not wearing your pads/rotors down. |
Originally posted by VTEC_Thunder The idea of rev-matching is that you use the ENGINE to slow you down...not the clutch nor the brakes... When you rev-match the engine MATCHES the rpm of the tranny so when you release the clutch there is no slipping. It simply engages at the same speed. If it's rotating at the same speed and there's no slipping, how is that wareing down the clutch? double yew tee eff I guess matching a slower or non-moving friction disc to a 3000rpm moving flywheel wouldn't do anything eh? |

I don't know why this is so hard to explain how rev-matching saves your clutch and brakes...., you guys should understand this....it's kindergarden math...... |

I did say "you match the rpm of the engine to the rpm of tranny" How simple can it be? If the flywheel and friction plate are rotating at the same rpm and the engage....where is the ware coming from??? Yes it's impossible to get them EXACTLY at the same rpm but if your good, you canget it pretty close... I remind you i'm talking about when the vehicle is deaccelerating and you down shift...not talking about starting off from a stand-still....If your friction disc isn't moving, that means your shifter is in neutral and your costing or stopped... |
When you downshift, you press the clutch pedal down, right?
