If you do it right, the car won't slow down, nor lurch ahead, and the extra wear will be utterly minimal.
Euromodder actually brought this up twenty-six months ago after my second post: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post314630

Jedi Sol, those are excellent articles, very well-written and informative. The author seems like an all-around great guy! However, I believe that Theaveng asked about rev-matching, instead of allowing the clutch to do it, and I must have missed that part of those articles.

I am pretty sure that I do not rev-match. Where is my cone of shame?
