OK. I HAVE A 93 CIVIC COUPE DX. 5 SPEED OF COURSE....NOW....I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DOWNSHIFT( REV MATCHING). BUT....THE THING WITH MY CAR IS...I DONT HAVE AN RPM GAUGE. LIKE I DONT HAVE A WAY OF READING ANY TYPE OF RPM. I'VE BEEN READING DIFFERENT ARTICLES SAYING. MAKE SURE YOUR REVING ABOUT 3000RPM B4 YOU SHIFT DOWN TO SUCH AND SUCH. BUT I DONT HAVE THAT READING. SO I DONT KNOW HOW IM SUPPOSE TO GO ABOUT REV MATCHING. AND I DONT WANNA MESS N E THING UP ON MY CAR BY DOING IT WRONG...SO CAN ANYBODY HELP ME OUT??? IT WOULD HELP IF SOMEONE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF CAR AS ME...BUT I MEAN IF YOU KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS POST.

Plus it causes more wear on your clutch.
It's more expensive to replace a clutch than it is to replace your brakes.
EDIT: and why don't you just get an aftermarket tach and throw it in there.

RE: REV MATCHING!!! HELP!!!
OK HOPEFULLY I CAN GET SOME REAL HELP ON HERE UNLIKE THOSE FA*GOT HONDA V TECH BUTTHOLES. OK. SAD TO SAY I HAVE A STUPID CIVIC(TEMP) BUT N E WAY. IM TRYING TO GET THIS REV MATCH THING DOWN.

BUT LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, IF IM DRIVING IN 4TH AND I WANNA GO INTO 2ND TO TURN A CORNER AND THEN PICK UP SPEND AGAIN. CAN ANY BODY TELL ME HOW TO DO IT RIGHT.

No offense but I still do not understand the reason that people type with caps lock in. Pretty bad habit you got there next thing you know your going to be offering bjs under the nearest bridge for some coke.
