Learning to rev match downshift .. any tips?

[nefarious986]

Trying to learn some better driving technique to turn faster, and help make my clutch last longer .. and honestly just having more fun driving. LOL.

Rev match downshift (without braking ) is the first one I'm practicing? Not sure if this is even a good starting place.

Here's what I learned is the proper procedure:

1. Clutch in
2. Foot down on gas to quickly blip throttle to proper rpm .. learn by experience to hear when engine is at proper rpm
3. Shift to new gear
4. Lift foot off gas to end blip
5. With clutch in, and gas off, then start normal shifting procedure of lift off clutch and modulating gas again

I cant really do this right now, my mind is set to declutch when I put gas down, so I'm mis-shifting a lot.

So I'm trying to learn by breaking it down to granny shifting .. this is basically what I'm doing ..

1. Clutch in
2. Shift to neutral
3. De clutch so car is just coasting.

Then ..

4. Blip throttle
5. Clutch in again
6. Shift.

Any tip for a beginner trying to learn? Its my first day and I feel like such a failure. I havent even tried to heel and toe on a turn yet. LOL. :ah:
