Default Too Much Rev-Match

What happens when you try to match the revs and overshoot the RPMs say by 500-1000RPMs more than the right amount? Is it just as bad as not rev-matching at all or is it worse?

Going too far over is just as bad as going too far under (maybe slightly less bad as it would seem easier to slow the engine, than speed the entire mass of the car.

The goal of rev matching is to get as close as possible.

for me it just took about a month to get used to the revs of the car at different gears & speeds. After a while it just becomes natural.

If you over-rev in a rev-match, it just going to jerk a little. No big deal. But if you don't, then the clutch will take up the slack and that is bad!

Better to overshoot and learn to drop it a little than to rev and miss your timing and have the clutch take the brunt. If your shifting below the optimum rpm.....then your not rev-matching at all. Your just reving your engine and still shifting normally.

Just keep practicing dont worry about it some people take longer to learn than others. Monica is still learning, the clutch may need replaced after she gets it down better

And i feel that the car jolts more if I undershoot. Where as overshooting doesn't as much. But heck, that probably doesn't make much sense hehehehhehe
I don't know. I find that overshooting is more comffy than undershooting

Either way, there will be more wear on the clutch than a perfect match hehehehehe

That is exactly the feeling I get. Thanks guys, I will keep on practicing. I usually overshoot the rev-match when I am at the lower RPMs at lower speeds.
