Default Downshifting from 3rd to 1st ok?

Hey guys,


You guys think it is ok to downshift from 3rd to 1st (skip gears in general)? Heel toeing (rev matching) to the best of my ability.


I seem to rev match a bit too high sometimes also, does that do any damage to any part of the car?


thanks

Thanks CKIT! I read it, it looks like skipping gears is fine.


What about? I seem to rev match a bit too high sometimes also, does that do any damage to any part of the car?
