I searched for this but couldnt find anything so, Why do you HAVE to use the clutch for shifting, aside from letting the rpms drop. In RL you can shift your gears without the clutch, it will grind and eventually ruin your tranny or clutch. I have the G25 and i can just put the shifter in 2nd when in 1st and stay in first gear until i hit the clutch. I think the gear should change when the shifter is moved, not when the clutch is pressed. Much more realistic, and probably useful when you really need those few thousandths of a second. This would be best implemented when lfs has an upgraded cluth model, with damage and such.
