Should I downshift from 5-4-3-neutral.
UP SHIFTING
Situation 3
Going from 1st gear to 2nd gear....
1. Fully let off the gas
2. Clutch in
3. Shift to 2nd gear
4. Let go of the clutch slowly and when it connects let go of the clutch fully.
5. Press the gas
Doing this method seems too jerky at times.
Situation 4
Going from 1st gear to 2nd gear....
1. Fully let off the gas
2. Clutch in
3. Shift to 2nd gear
4. While slowly letting go of the clutch and at the same time I slowly press the gas to try and match the speed of the transmission. Once it connects I fully release the clutch.(this happens within 1-2 second)
I find this method to be more smoother(I feel like its an automatic) than situation 3. However, am I wearing out the clutch by pressing the gas while slowly letting go of the clutch to upshift?

If you properly match your revs, you won't be wearing out your clutch as much as you would just releasing the clutch without gas.
