Yep, I did the same thing at first. But I've had mine for two weeks now and I'm STILL adjusting. My big thing now is that I'm not letting the clutch back in quickly enough. You see, I think subconsciously, my brain is sensing that I didn't blip the throttle, hence I'm instinctively letting the clutch back in gently. Because what happens normally if you downshift w/o blipping the throttle? You get that big initial jerk, right? And the only way to mitigate against that jerking if you're downshifting w/o matching revs is to let the clutch back in gently. So here's the thing. If you let it back in too slowly after the engine has blipped (via the SynchroRev Match), it defeats the whole purpose of the rev-matching because by the time you let the clutch back in, the revs have already dropped back down, and you end up with a jerkier downshift! So now I have to consciously remind myself to just drop the clutch back in. I have to override my instinct to not just drop the clutch back in when I'm not manually blipping the throttle. And guess what? When I just drop the clutch back in, it's all nice and smooth. Yeah, it's going to take some getting used to!
