Question about double clutching

Okay I got a question

When downshifting to a lower gear, is double clutching the best method of preserving transmission life ?

_______________________________________________
For those who don't know how to drive stick, downshifting is (and correct me if I'm wrong, have not drove stick for a while)

~For example you are in fifth gear, you would push in the clutch, rev the engine to a higher speed (RPM'S) and at the same time or right after you would put it in to forth gear

Now double clutching is:

~For example you are in forth gear, you would push in the clutch, shift to neutral, rev the engine to a higher speed (RPM'S) and at the same time or right after you would put it in to third gear

That easy, Last time I checked, the T6060 is a POS and I would want to preserve trany life as much as possbile
