Reason I ask is because occasionaly I have a lazy downshift and just blip with the clutch fully down with the stick in neutral (as per the double clutching habbit), but don't actually allow neatural to be engaged (release the clutch) before blipping and then later shifting (the second "clutching"). - And I find this still rev-matches fine and still eliminates the drivetrain jolts associated with the absense of rev-matching.
This IS a noob section so all answers and comments should be written with that in mind. You don't see teachers insulting the intelligence of their students if they misunderstand something, do you?
