I downshift, it just depends on the situation, but usually it's one gear at a time 6th to 5th , or 5th to 4th , 4th to 3rd. Sometimes I'll go 4th to 2nd gear, if I go from 40 mph…. down to 20mph fast ( brake, or engine braking + downshift). I'll say in the last few years, I've been doing more braking… then downshifting ( I'd rather replace brake pads, then to go thru a clutch faster) … but it depends on the situation.

I do believe so.
