Bro.. 5-3 is fine, you just gotta love her the right way.

In all seriousness, with technique, I contend the gear skip is no more work on the synchro as you let the revs fall lower and if you double clutch then it’s no work on the synchro.

Edit.. for the avg person, who doesn’t take into account how a transmission works then one can expect extra work on the synchro as a result.

2nd edit: coming from my previous race car with a cable throttle and lighter flywheel, I find the FRS is easier to skip gears as a “big blip” is easier on a double clutch than a small one. This also is in part due to the mods on the pedals as well.
