Rev matching? Don't think so.

Does the '15 MCS, 6MT, have the rev matching feature? If so, how do I enable it? I haven't noticed any rev matching other than by my own "skill" when downshifting.

(I'm talking 2015 MCS, MT, Sport Pkg., DDC, set to Sport Mode).

I've never had rev matching, don't know that I need it, but would certainly like to have the option, if available. Thanks.

Only time rev matching is de-activated should be when you turn off traction control IIRC. Talk to your dealer, rev matching is super fun

The rev match function is there, but is not easy to identify. Try a slow shift and you will see the ECU adjustment with the RPM's. It is rare that an experienced driver will need to use it.

The rev matching feature is nice if you do a lot of daily driving. Depending on you technique it can save wear and tear on your ankle. Lol.

Try a downshift earlier than you would normally, ie don't slow down at all, you should see the car increasing the revs, and it should be seamless when you then let the clutch out again.
