I’ve always bumped 5th before going into reverse. Never had an issue with reverse doing it that way.
Drivetrain Downshifting from 3rd to 2nd issue

yes the hiway with 4.10s with the zspec in 5th gear 0.63 is good on fuel at least mine is we can only go 100KM or 60MPH that is the speed that is set on our hiways in ontario canada.
Not in Canada. The police up there are villains and their horses are fast….
Years ago yes lol but Not with the laws we have now, get caught stunt driving or racing you can kiss your car goodbye for a month at the police pound and your drivers license will get suspended not worth it to me it's the teens with the rice burners that F@#$%^ it up and the movie fast a furious where it all started but still an awesome movie R.I.P Paul Walker.And you never exceed the speed limit, right?
Allegedly
Does gearing down on a T5 screw up the synchros or is it better to throw it in neutral when slowing down?
I watched an F1 driver on tv say " brakes are for slowing you down, not transmissions"......
Except for the Charger, all of the Jap rice burners SUCKED in that movie ... An OLD mans opinion.....
F1 'drivers' push a button to shift and drink milk to celebrate a win.
Yeah he can tell me how to shift?
Don't think so.
No, down shifting does not cause damage to the synchros. Not completely disengaging the clutch and trying to up shift or down shift is typically what gets them along with age and not changing the fluid.
A good positive stop shifter will also help things.

yes I only liked Paul Walkers 1994 Orange Toyota Supra MK IV and Dom’s (Dominic Toretto) signature car a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T but I also heard they had to modify a 1969 Charger to look it like it was from 1970 in the first movie.

Welp every where I read it says they had difficulty finding a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T and had to modify a 1969 Charger to look like it was from 1970 for the first movie.
Do you really think the woke journalists are even close to being " Car " people?? Watch the movie, look at the tail lights.
Movie cars are mostly spit and polished junk, at least one of those chargers was a Duke of Hazard stunt car made to look like a 70 (or whatever year it was supposed to be).
Remember Vanishing Point? That was not even a Dodge or Plymouth that crashed into the dozers.
Seems like I remember it was a clapped out camaro. Not sure about that.
