My old car's Borg Warner DSG automatic program has this same exact shift pattern (rev matches every downshifts and it doesn't skip a gear unless you hit the kickdown) and the clutch packs are rated for 300,000km of service life.

Having said all that and wbradley didn't even need to resort to mentioning how many years he has been behind the wheel.
