Down shifts are different. Double clutch. Until used to it, its better to raise the engine speed a bit too high then leave it a bit too low. Take your time, you'll get used to it.
Like most things, its a learned skill.
x2! Lou, this is exactly how you want to do it. After a few days you will get the hang of it.
