synchros should only come into play when you push the lever into 'gear'... if you're rev matching, it will save wear on the synchros.. but if your not releasing the clutch, why bother?

I didn't say I was doing that. I said if. And many drivers even pro do this when carrying high speed into a short braking zone. I've seen plenty of videos showing both ways. And the reason I'm asking is I believe that by going threw the gears it may slow down the engine and transmission speed to a little bit more suitable speed to make engagement smoother while also preserving the tranny. That's why I'm asking to understand the variables. I'm just making points of what could be. Just want to hear from experience members with track time there input.
