i downshift every time i drive home, since my subdivision is off a stupidass one way road i get to take the long way home..but anyways
i hit 40 mph while going down a moderate hill shift to neutral then slide all the way back up, only i'd have to brake before turning in. so one day i decide to try downshifting to slow down before going there, and well i dont ever double clutch to downshift (i mean smoothly, without raping my synchros).
easier way to downshift (supposing you're in gear), hit clutch, rev engine, shift and ease off of clutch so you dont jolt the transmission but the clutch still catches on a little to match revs. try it sometime
