Quickly let the clutch out before the revs fall and keep on the gas to maintain the revs. It's a super quick shift and the quick rev is necessary to make you not lurch as much as the clutch re-engages. If you have an intake/exhaust it sounds godly too. It's fun to experiment with downshifting and upshifting. If you can start to learn where the rpm's are at each mph, you can downshift and upshift much easier while being an overall smoother driver too. Hope I helped.
yup ..from 45-57 you can really be in second gear from 5-7.4k..57mph = stock rev limiter warning in second gear at 7395.
