Large gear indicator
Your gear box is sequential anyway and cannot downshift 4 gears that fast. It's not like an smg or dct where you can rapidly tap the paddle 4 times and it follows in fractions of a second. There is a little lag. That's the one thing Thst I still miss about my manual is being to downshift from 5th to 2nd without going through 4th and 3rd. I agree with all the above posters about knowing your engine. Rpm to speed ratios help signal your gear too. For example if your at 4K and doing 25 your in 2nd, if your at 4K and doing 50, your in 4th (don't quote me on those but you get the point.) you should have a pretty decent idea what gear you're in by what speed you're carrying before you start your breaking.
But to answer your original question, maybe just call the company and see if it's compatible.
