that's why I have short gearing buddy.When I should brake from 50 km/h or above, quickly, I blip, downshift, use engine braking and as the revs drop, blip, downshift and let the engine take over again. I do this in all gears. As a result I barely used my brake pads at all so I squeezed a healthy 18k kms off the pads. Never faced problems like mis-shifts or the gear lever becoming free at lower rpms. AFAIK this is normal on gearboxes designed to complement high-revving engines. We need to change our techniques that's all.
