I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but if you downshift, and match the revs, yes 'engine braking' will occur. If you don't exactly match it, and maybe release the clutch at a lower rpm, then you will get that jerk feeling, and a little more initial 'engine braking' until the engine/rpms catch up to the proper rpm for that gear, and then you get the normal amount of 'engine braking'. Does that answer it?
