1) Yes. transmission has syncros. I think triple on 1st and 2nd? not 100% sure. Not rev matching downshifts will always be rough and letting out the clutch will help but yes it wears it out. Anytime you use the clutch your wearing it out. Try pressing gas a bit while you downshift to get the revs up (heel toe or quick blimp)

2.) Yes & Yes but i think handbrake MUST be up

3) i usually go 2km over speed bumps on a angle (lowered on coils) in first gear.

4.) normal. transmission is clunky.

5.) whatever doesn't get you killed lol i prefer downshifting

6.) probably fine but i normally shift in order

7.) gets smoother. change tranny oil and you will notice difference and get a heavier shift knob.

8.) 2nd gear in a small parking lot seems crazy but i normally shift at 6k
