As indicated, the secret is having the the two gears that are going to engage turning the same speed. Synchros do that with friction cones so friction matches speed before gears clash. Think about where the engine speed is going to be when you get to the new gear. 5th gear engine speed is very low for ground speed equal to WO 4th. You need to be pushing off the throttle as it comes out of 4th, let the engine slow down to match the 5th gear ground speed and slide it in. Reason for the double clutch is to let the slower engine speed pull down the front shaft speed in the tranny. Same thing applies downshifting. Listen and think about what's happening. When your ear and eyes get really good you can go up AND down all day long and not even bother with the clutch! Before everybody here climbs all over me, I'm not saying this is recommended operator procedure, but if you understood it, you wouldn't have been chipping those teeth that led to your post :)
