    it shouldnt be that difficult to drive everyday without crunching ur gears....

    it may not be your fault as a driver, ur synchromesh might be stuffed.

    rev-matching should be learnt if you care about your car. its technically NOT the right way to shift down gears if you're going for your license, but it does reduce wear and tear on your drivetrain as well as making those down-shifts a million times smoother.

    So what about down shifting from like 4th to 3rd at say 80kph along with braking in order to slow down the car?

    Is this bad? I do it pretty often and it's not quite a habit. I tend to down shift everytime I slow down to come to a stop according to the speed, but never anything crazy like 110kph on 3rd to 2nd.

    I rev match by blipping the throttle when I downshift from 4th to 3rd at 80 km/h. No problems with clutch wear.

    you can actually change up gears without using a clutch. There is a specific rev position where it can be achieved successfully smoothly. Every gear box has a different spot. Believe it or not but it can be done with out any crunches
