Rev Matching on 2024 Supra Premium MT

[UltraSupra]

Hi,

I searched this forum but couldn't find an answer. I was wondering if the rev matching on the 2024 Supra works similarly to that on the Cayman S (with Sport Chrono) and the Nissan Z?

I've noticed some people prefer to turn this feature off. If you do, could you explain why? Honestly, I'm not very good at heel-toe shifting, and I think this rev matching feature would help me a lot.

Yes

If you don’t want to heal-toe then leave it on. It’s just preference and in theory should help to preserve parts. I would think all auto rev matching works the same so yes it’s probably comparable to the cayman and z

Learn heel and toe. Why bother driving MT if you can't especially in this day and age.

So you heel and toe every shift?

I did when I drove manual. Learned how to do it, and it just became second nature ?‍

2024 MT here. When upshifting or downshifting, push in the clutch and let off the gas pedal all the way. Moving the shifter to another gear causes the engine to be rev-matched to that gear and road speed just as the shift lever leaves neutral and enters the gate for that gear. The computer continues rev matching for about a second after you enter the next gear, or until you begin feeding in the clutch and power. It's very smooth. It does not do anything fancy like double clutching, though, so there's only part of a reduction in syncro wear.

I've been driving manuals non-stop for about 40 years now. I went back and forth with enabling and disabling this feature. Cutrently, I leave it on, as it is good for driving in traffic, and you can still manually blip shift when you want to - the system doesn't interfere. But for the track or a trip to Mexico, I would turn it off to enjoy rowing my own.

There is absolutely no need to do this on every shift. My Type R clutch has done 220,000kms and I manually rev match/blip the throttle only when I'm giving it the beans and having some fun.

Also worth mentioning is that before I bought the Supra I thought I would turn the auto rev matching function off, but it worked so well and was so completely unintrusive that I just left it on.

I've never driven a Cayman, but yes, it's like a 370z.

I use it all the time, despite being able to heel and toe perfectly. It's one less thing to worry about in spirited driving and I personally don't feel like anything is lost using it. Because it's perfect every time, I enjoy how awesome it sounds around town.

Comes down to preference. I tend to keep it off to get better at heel and toe but I still turn it on every once in a while. It works great to keep downshifts to 1st or 2nd smooth.

it doesnt always work for me, not sure if others had the same issue.

My thoughts as well. No one is perfect on track. So if one were to make a big mistake, it could potentially save ya. Was my thought at least. Any other reason to use it, should be just for fun and preference. Ideally you wouldn’t even notice it. Like BMWAF said

What do you mean? I find it works flawlessly on downshifts.

Umm.. I've seen this mentioned a few times and I'm not sure if my car is just odd or my driving style doesn't allow for it, but I'm pretty sure rev matching only ever works when downshifting, ie: going from 3rd down to 2nd. To test this, I actually tried to invoke rev-matching on an upshift today for fun and I can guarantee there is no such thing in my car.

Am I missing something?

You might be releasing clutch too late then. It’ll revmatch on the up shift but only hold it for about a second before it starts to drop

It definitely rev matches on upshifts with gear shift assistant on, what I've found though is that you have to slow down your shifting for it to even come into play because the revs don't fall fast enough with how I normally drive.

Try upshifting from 2nd at like 3500 rpms. Keep the clutch in and move the selector to 3rd. The revs will fall to about 2500 and then hold for about a second, then continue falling. If you let the clutch out when its holding it will mesh seamlessly and you don't even have to give it gas. I'm honestly not sure why people don't use it for the jerky 1-2 shift that everyone complains about so much.
