Hello ryan,

            for a double clutch downshift.....say... 4th to 3rd..

            push in the clutch.. move the shift lever to neutral...

            let out the clutch
            
            blip the throttle... (rev the engine to make the engine
                                  speed match the lower gear)

            push in the clutch... move the shift lever to the lower
            gear...

            release the clutch...

            to do the upshift... same process.. but don't rev the
            engine,... just wait until the engine slows down... to the
            new.. lower rpm...

            this is why it is important to have the brake and gas
            pedals properly arranged.. during downshifts, when one is
            operating under braking, one should be able to roll the
            foot onto the gas pedal and continue to brake, while
            blipping the throttle... also known as

            heel and toeing...
