Iv always downshifted my cars, when the RPMS are LOW. No rev matching, unless RMP's are high, like when driving aggressive. I have had many manual transmission cars with no issues, and long clutch life. My Accord had 188,900 miles on the original clutch. Yea it was slipping at this point, but was still drivable. MY Civic Si has 137 thousand now original clutch. Down shift at low RPMs all the time on both cars.
