Further clarification - I agree with stuart. About the only time I DC is from 4-3, and not during agressive cornering. It's more of a leisurely pastime for me, and sort of a habit. It does become a bit much in the twisties. My earlier clarification was for the folks who think they are performing a DC when in fact, they aren't. As for it's benefit, that debate could go on ad nauseum, but simple physics says that it will result in less wear on the gears, even of a synchromesh gearbox, with all else equal.
