better to over rev or under rev?
So we all know how difficult the our 6MTs are to drive smoothly, especially that infamous second gear... I've been driving manual transmissions for some time now... but the G i still don't get it right on 100% of the time.. with second gear it's a lot of guessing and hit and miss and trial and error.
So you give x amount of gas at x point and you either under rev, over rev, or get it right on... I know they both put wear on the clutch, since the engine and clutch are spinning at different speeds so at the point of contact there will be some rubbing until they match speeds.. but i'm wondering which one puts more wear on the clutch?
The underreving definately FEELS like it's doing more damage since it makes your car jolt suddenly.. It's a lot easier for the clutch to slow the engine than ti is for the engine to slow the clutch since it has to slow the entire weight of the car as well...
Anybody know for sure?

Just let out the clutch slower...then you can gain more window.
If you're talking about downshifting it's better to over rev and let the
clutch out slowly. At lower speed downshifts, you need to keep
a tad bit of throttle while you clutch-out as the flywheel is light and
the AC compressor will throw off the spin down.
Just practice and you'll get the hang of it. a trick for a smooth
shiftup is to roll off the throttle gently...even at wot.

I'd be embarrassed to post such a thread.
For shame, mc2, for shame.

That's unless you were sarcastic, but I sure didn't feel the sarcasm in that post.
