I seem to have trouble mastering the Downshifting... A lot of times Im driving at 60-70MPH and when I approach a turn I take it at about 20MPH. The thing is I never seem to downshift/ or know how to, when I approach such curves. I always come up short and end up not shifting all the way to desired gear. I dont want to start downshifting from a long distance and slow traffic down... Am I supposed to downshift sporadically from 70-20MPH? Wont that waste the clutch? Someone guide me!
