Similarly, don't go straight from 3rd to 6th. I still do it sometimes but I wait a good long time in neutral to let the input side spool down. If it doesn't immediately slip into gear with a light touch, you're not waiting long enough.
Or just don't skip gears, period.

Do you have a source on this? I skip gears on the highway all the time when I hammer on it then shift to 6th when I hit 60
