It's like jumping Mario onto one of those elevator things in the old Donkey Kong games. Nobody sat there thinking, "The elevator is coming down at 200 pixels per second, and Mario can jump up 300 pixels, so I need to jump when the elevator is exactly 100 pixels above him." You just practice it until you get the toss right, then do it by feel after that.

So do you usually let clutch out slowly (let out fast to engagement, then let out slowly) on every rev matched downshift? That way, if you've matched a bit too low, your car won't violently jerk.
If so, how long should I hold it on engagement point before letting it out slowly?
