Downshifting VT automatic transmission - rev match?

Hey All,

I've got a (maybe) dumb question. When downshifting manually in my '14 Veloster Turbo, I notice that the car seems to slow down jerkily. I'm probably doing something wrong. Do I need to rev-match or blip the throttle while downshifting an automatic like I do with a manual? Or does it take care of that automatically? I want to eventually track this car, so I'd like to get the feel for shifting quickly and safely so I don't leave bits of gears on the racetrack.

Thanks!

It's an automatic so you can't rev match.
Unless you can get an electronic transmission kit where you can change line pressure and torque converter lockup there's not much you can do.
Ive seen the TCM or transmission control module and it's quite complex and probably not modify able. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Use your sport mode for the track if you have it and enjoy what you've got. 👍
