I always rev match after bump start.

Just BARELY release clutch, engine fires on
Clutch in so that the car does not jerk
Shift to top gear
Blip the throttle to rev match
Release clutch...if I did it right, the car does not jerk....thus no wear on the clutch
Lol, that's written exactly as I would have written it!

I bump start all the way down to like 5 mph in fifth gear by barely releasing the clutch, then shifting immediately into the appropriate gear with the revs matching. You can't even tell I'm doing it at this point, and I don't even have to think about what I'm doing, it just comes naturally now
