To down shift fast from any gear Do Not take your foot off of the

from 5th to 4th to 3rd to2ndin rapid succession , you'll find the engine
rpms at perfect speed each time.

If you "maintain the engine speed you are using in that gear" that will cause quite a lurch when you let the clutch out in the lower gear, and wear out your clutch. What am I missing here?
