That's the nice thing about an H-shifter, you can just put it where you want it and not need to run through them like an auto or sequential. As long as I'm not bogging the car going up hill or something, this works well on flat ground and down hills for daily driving.

There's been a lot of arguments about screwing up the syncros when shifting like that. Usually the proper method to do it is like:
4th gear
clutch in
put it in 5th gear
put it in 6th gear
clutch out.
And supposedly that'll save your syncros.
I'm not a mechanic or anything. I've just read this multiple times in different places.
