6MT: Ugh downshifted without rev matching

[Aaaaaaaaa]

I would say maybe a 4 or 5. Not the end of the world but not something you want to do all the time. I have done the same thing when switching modes and no issues so far..... I'm sure your car is fine!!

Damn I was hoping for more of a 1 or 2 lol

You are fine. No harm done.

[chetrickerman]

Your clutch probably took the brunt of the force.

It's probably scale 1? It's like the difference between light brake and hard brake as long as it's not money shift. I assume u only did this in low RPM.

Yea low RPM I think around 2k maybe. Just slowing down for a turn at normal daily driving speeds.

I did this on Nurburgring last fall and almost crashed my car. Had no idea Sport+ didn't have revmatch. Ever since then, I have never driven on any setting other than Sport+ again and simply use heel & toe.

I'm assuming this upset the balance of the car quite a bit.

I'm now keeping Sport+ off my M1/M2 buttons for the exact opposite reason. I've already gotten lazy and becoming dependent on auto rev match.

Yeah I was going downhill into a turn. Car went sideways a bit.

Problem with the other modes is the car is so quiet.

I know I barely hear the engine over just tire/road noise in Efficient

Why are you dropping the clutch anyway? Are you talking about a side-step or a fast release?

It shouldn't hurt the car as long as you weren't at red-line or something.

[G35POPPEDMYCHERRY]

lol, this is barely a 1. clutches can handle this. can you imagine how many shitting drivers there are and clutches still go for 100k miles. shit happens. sometimes i mis shift, it happens

With auto rev match on you can just dump the clutch (fast release) on downshifts and it engages seamlessly.

[G35POPPEDMYCHERRY]

also if its revmatched. then u should dump the clutch. feathering it will cause jerkiness and damage

I disagree. I ran the numbers and got 1.73890245.

I probably spend a ton of incremental $$$ on gas because I only drive in Sport + (even in bumper to bumper New York City traffic). If i drive in Sport or Efficient, the rev matching continues for dozens of miles after I go back into Sport + for whatever reason and I just cant stand the unpredictability.

To the OP's point, I have accidentally clutch dumped on many occasions for a few reasons. My clutch was inspected by my technician prior to tuning (if there were issues I wanted them addressed before modding the engine software) and after 24k miles there were zero issues with the clutch.
