Second gear pops out on decel 850

Thanks Klaus, that sounds a little more like it, I'll check it out today. As far as double-clutching, I thought that was a bit of a lost art form since synchromesh transmission was popularized 50 years ago. Sure semis, and I guess a few race cars use the non synchro. But I guess I'm missing the point of double-clutching, and since this is an open discussion... I fail to see why when I don't double clutch, but instead go to the next lower gear (without going into neutral), while matching the revs, I will wear down the synchronizer. The whole point of the synchros is to match the engine speed with the trans (so I been told), which is what I am doing (so i am doing it's job and not using them). I mean hell, I can shift my car up and down with out the clutch, so i for sure now where the revs need to be versus speed and gear, and it is smooth as can be. My question is, when you shift into neutral, what does that do for you? Does it remove the trans from the spinning wheels, or is the trans still spinning with them? If either is true, I still fail to see the point. Someone please clear this up for me, and maybe, just maybe, I will be a double-clutching man.
Keep it going,
~Blake
