You will need to rev-match a bit more accurately (a.k.a. less forgiving) if you downshift to 3rd or 2nd. Otherwise, your ride comfort will suffer.
nope, it's not enough coz he's not synchronizing fly wheel with clutch disc:

Quote:
The clutch only wears while the clutch disc and the flywheel are spinning at different speeds. When they are locked together, the friction material is held tightly against the flywheel, and they spin in sync. It's only when the clutch disc is slipping against the flywheel that wearing occurs. So, if you are the type of driver who slips the clutch a lot, you'll wear out your clutch a lot faster.
