I shift from 2nd down to 1st as I roll to a stop, normally never above 15mph. Generally I shift into first while holding in the clutch coming to a stop. I don't engage first gear until I take off from the stop. When I shift down to first the rpm's are generally at idle speed because I go through 2 gears (3-2-1).
