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.

It depend on what gear I'm changing into and from where. The ratios on my 02 S are not evenly spaced. There is no "one size fits all" rpm difference with the 6 speed box. The five speed may be different.
