From fourth to third, it just requires hitting a button for me. From third to second, just pop the shifter down, second to first, same thing. So yeah, I agree with unnatural, but not excessive. I also agree it shouldn't be done. But I occasionally do it (I'm talking less than 5 times a year) because dropping from fourth to second going around 40mph sends the rpm up to 3-4k and that's good for getting attention or just playing around. You know the cd4e is the best tranny ever, so no worries there.
