Now, I hadn't thought about this benefit and it is good one. I don't raw the gears down, just jump from higher gear to the one I need to be in; however, I have to admit, there have been few times in which I missed a gear and the corner because my muscle memory wasn't ready for the gear I needed to be in vs. the gear I was scheduled to be in. Hmmm, something to think about.

Do you de-clutch as well with each gear selection going down the box?
