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 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.

I down shift quite a bit and rev match all the time I do.

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....

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?

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...
