Lets say I am doing about 45 mph in 5 gear and I am coming to a stop sign, do I need to downshift each gear, pulling the clutch in, and letting it out (4-3-2-1), or can I just hold the clutch in, and downshift multiple times until I hit 1st gear?
I guess the best way to summarize it would be, is there any harm done to the engine/transmission when shifting gears up or down while continuously holding the clutch?
Thanks!

get used to hearing your engine wind down and downshift , its good practice when your also wanting to slow down before a sharp turn and be in gear not coasting with your hand holding the clutch in.
