Double clutching on downshifts is absolutely the best thing you can do for the transmission as it spins the gears up to speed for easy engagement and minimal wear on the syncros assuming you're blipping at the neutral gate. Apparently you don't have Syncro Rev Match, cause if you did you'd abandon all that other stuff quickly!! A lifetime of double clutching downshifts went out the window for me! SRM only spins up the engine though, not the trans so what you're doing, if you're good at it, is not a problem..

Heel-toeing is obsolete with the 370z. Don't all the models come with SynchroRev Matching?
