if my car is rolling considerbly obviously i would rev match before engaging.

QFT. My daily has 325 ft-lbs of torque, but if I'm at a dead stop, I use first. Anything over 2-3 mph, second gear can be used without adding any throttle till the clutch is hooked up.

FWIW, I've never replaced a clutch in anything I've owned, except in the rare case where I've already dropped the tranny so I'll replace whatever else is in there while it's all apart.
