YES.....VERY important. Be careful not to mis-shift going down the gears (for example, shifting down from 5th heading for 4th .... and hit 2nd by mistake).
The rev limiter will not "save" you in this case (the rev limiter only works going "up" the gears).
Some call this type of mis-shift a "money shift" ...... for good reason....
