If i downshift from 4th - 3rd, can i depress the clutch the whole time while shifting from 4th- 3rd - 2nd? Or do i have to depress clutch 4th-3rd, release clutch, depress clutch 3rd-2nd? thanks!
As long as you're matching the REVS, you can go from 2-4 or 6-4 whatever. Sometimes I go from 6th to 4th and many 6MT drivers upshift from 2nd to 4th and 4th to 6th. If you have the SRM on and you downshift too many gears, you will hit the rev limiter if your initial REVs are too high. So watch out for that.
