Sorry no answers here but your post got me thinking about something.  
What is the proper way to downshift with a 3 rail tranny. Should you 
double clutch?  And what is the 2nd gear to 1st gear trick?  Since I 
think the synchro ring on 2nd gear of my car is slowly turning into a 
graphite-like substance I want to preserve this box as long as possible.
