It's okay, I still remember my first time on my GTI. I still can do it pretty smooth from 5th to 2nd off the highway.

Oddly enough, I can't nail it on the Toyota Yaris though... sigh.

i took me a while too. finally got a good grasp on it after a full season of autox. but i'm still far from having it "down".

Relaxing and not over-thinking it is key.

To be honest it is kind of a releif to see some others have to practice it also. I thought I was the only one not getting it.

Thanks for all of the replies.

This thing just keeps getting better and better!!!

It really is, and this applies to a lot more than shifting and double (de)clutching. Before I start an autocross run I take a deep breath, and as I let it out I try to get my whole body to relax. If I'm not completely relaxed afterward, I'll do it a second or third time until I do get totally relaxed. As long as I can maintain the relaxed condition my run will usually flow smoothly and I'll turn respectable times, but if I tense up, my times suffer.

Shooting is the same way. You can't shoot well when you're all tensed up.
Bowling too.

Probably applies to most physical activities that require precision.
