Hey Nick. It's pretty easy really, it spreads out the shifting process through more steps, and in a way simplifies it because you'll never really need to precisely vary both feet at the same time. Easy practice is to downshift and upshift while cruising and try to get the revs exact and the stick to slide into the gate with no resistance at all. I guess I worked at it for a week's work of driving before I didn't have to think about it.

At the end of the day it's not really that handy for performance driving, it's obviously more steps and takes a lot longer. It's just nice because it seems to be easier on the tranny.
