Whirring noise when downshifting...
When downshifting with the clutch pressed, I notice and feel a whirring noise coming from somewhere (but it sounds like from the shifter or tranny). It sounds like when you let off the trigger on a power trill and hear its gears and the motor come slow down to a stop. Is this normal? I hear it mostly when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd or from 2nd to 1st.

That's what I've thought....rev matching wouldn't slow the car down, obviously, but slowly letting off the clutch and letting the RPMs find themselves did slow it down. But wouldn't it be bad for the synchros? (just a question, don't necessarily want to start another debate)

i may be wrong, but that's how i've been taught.
i don't see anything wrong with rev matching... why wouldn't you slow down after a rev match? if you're doing 65 in 6th, rev match to 4th and keep off the gas, of course you would slow down.

i don't understand why you think you would stay at the same speed.
