Rev Match daily driving

Jsolo

Could it be the OP's technique that's causing the revs to shoot up?

We don't have rev matching in the G so it's up to the driver to do it if they want a smooth shift. For the life of me I can't heel/toe, but can manually rev match relatively well most of the time.

I've found the smoothest way to downshift is clutch in (pedal depressed) is to do so right at the point where the trans is neither loaded or unloaded. I get no unexpected rpm spikes this way. Perhaps the OP is depressing the clutch too soon before easing off the throttle?

That said, I don't know how the logic in the 370z rev match works exactly. Is it actually expecting a shift to the next lower gear, or any lower gear? I figure if the latter, it'd be blipping the throttle based on the appropriate rpm for that specific gear. Neutral is not a gear.
