What worked for me was two things: first, get a speedometer app on my phone and mount it temporarily in front of me so I could see my speed. Second, find a big open property with a winding drive to practice in. I used a local cemetery.

The actual operation is that you shift from 3rd to neutral, let the clutch out, blip the throttle, clutch in, and ease the shifter into second. The practice part is needed to train your ear to know what engine sound corresponds to being under 20 mph. That’s really all there is to it.
