So it's like I still go through the gears but rev match doing so if I'm going to "skip" a gear. If I have time to let out the clutch from hitting 4th, then I'll just do that and afterwards, go clutch in and revmatch for third. Otherwise I'll do both as I describe above. I wonder if that way is at least healthier for the synchros than just skipping the gear altogether.
