Does anyone skip gears when downshifting?
I don't really downshift unless necessary. Downshifting when coming to a stop at a light or something is a pointless reason to increase wear and tear on the clutch and tranny. Brakes are meant to stop, clutches aren't
I have the HARDEST time getting into first from any kind of a coast. I have to rev it to like 4-5k to get it into 1st when im going a couple mph.
It's called revmatching. You should ALWAYS match the speed of the input shaft to the speed of the output shaft when downshifting. i.e. make the engine turn as fast as it would in the lower gear before you put it in that gear
