Previously:

Shift 4-N (or whatever)
Blip gas
Shift N-3
Clutch-out / gas

Currently:

Brake
Clutch-in
Shift 4-3 / Blip gas while performing full shift, somewhere between 4-N
Clutch-out / gas
I'm trying to learn some better shifting habits...

I usually downshift this way..
Brake
Clutch-in
blip gas
shift 4-3 / sometimes still on gas if shifting 5 - 3
clutch out

Is this improper downshifting? I'm sure it's better to blip only when the gear is in neutral, but I feel like I might as well double-clutch if I'm waiting that long to rev-match.

comments appreciated!
