That's perfect for a cold engine but you have to be REALLY quick at that low speed because the ratios are so close and the gear oil is especially thick in the first few minutes of driving on a cold morning.
Have you ever seen a chart like this? I ask because it's good at showing how the
difference in engine speed between gears increases as engine speed at the time of the shift also increases. It also explains why syncro life is preserved by pausing in neutral a little longer for redline shifts.
