at what rpm are you downshifting?
for me, in normal daily drive, it's when the RPM is about 3000 so that the engine rev is kept in the 3500+ region. When I'm having fun, the downshift rpm is about 1000 higher.. which keeps the engine rpm above 4000 and ready to provide torque once my foot is off the brake and back on the throttle.
since I'm on the brake for most of my downshifts, downshift does not have to be fast, but make sure I don't $$$$ shift.
