I used to do a 1st, 3rd, and 5th upshift and skip 2nd and 4th with my FD3S. but when downshifting it really depends on what speed and how quickly do I need to slow down.

Generally, downshifting before entering a turn, it's always 5-4-3-2, and I rarely shift into 1st unless I am dead slow or completely stop.

In the regular city driving, it really just downshift to match speed for the rpm, and I usually aim for 3k-3.5k.

I am still getting use to the FRS 6 speed as the car has close gear ratio comparing to all the other 5 speed tranny that I have been driven.

Practice heel/toe or double clutch!!
