Pulse and Glide can really work! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Simply put you try to increase the engine speed so that when you let the clutch out there is no bump. If you get it exactly right the engine speed will not change once the clutch is fully out. Very difficult to do exactly, but close counts, it reduces the slippage of the clutch, or the shock on the drive line components.

With the small size of the Yaris engine it very quickly changes speeds without much shock, there is less momentum due to the reduced mass of the engine.

I hope I answered your question, if you wondered what rev matching means.
