SYNCHRO rev-matching and downshift rev-atching are the same exact feature. They are just named differently for each transmission. Since Nissan is the sole proprietor of a manual transmission with downshift rev-matching. They gave it its own name and patent and called it SYNCHRO rev-matching.
If you look up both features by definition, they perform the exact same job. DRM works when you upshift just like SRM. So nissans own description of Downshift rev-matching is inaccurate.
Is it called SRM in automatic transmissions by name? NO
Is it called DRM in manual transmissions by name? NO
Is DRM and SRM the same exact feature and function exactly the same in either transmission? YES
I hope this clears the SRM DRM dilemma.
