Default RevMatching???

ok so youre driving in regular traffic and you go to downshift...do you have to revmatch to downshift or is that just for when you want some power when you downshift to a lower gear so you can punch it??? like coming out of a corner racing someone or at the track???

rev match for no jerking motion, plus less stress on clutch.

True, but if you are going to hit a red light, just put the clutch in and use the brakes. It's better to replace brake pads than it is to replace a clutch.
