that depends HEAVILY on where in the rev band you are when you decide to downshift. for example, i wouldn't downshift into 1st from 40mph in 2nd - you'll go way past redline and fuck up the motor. but from a 20mph roll i don't see it being a problem. the question then is: will you get more wheelspin than you want if you DO downshift into 2nd?
