down shifting and not coasting - Toyota Yaris Forums

i've been driving manual since i got my license about 16 years ago, and i have always downshifted when coming to a stop, and i have only replaced a clutch once,but what i would like to know...

...what the hell is rev-matching? i've never heard that term before (car illiterate to some degree),
does this mean that as you slow down you just continue to drop it into the appropriate gear so the engine rev doesn't increase?
