jim, what we do in racing (or at high speed), when downshifting, sabay mo na press the clutch ang the gas pedal while shifting the gear. by the time release mo ung clutch, the rpm had risen thus matching the the gear speed and kagat na yan sa torque band mo. no need to press-release-press the clutch, redundant na yan. you simply press the clutch/gas pedal together while shifting the gear and then you go! one press is enough...
