Anyway, why are you engine braking? The proper technique is to use the brakes to slow the car, and to heel-toe at the appropriate time, or to at least rev-match if you are not on the brakes.
Engine braking wears the clutch and is less effective than engine braking. Wheel braking is more effective and brake pads by nature are wear items that are expendable and relatively inexpensive to replace.
Sorry for being a little harsh since I know you personally, but I'm just saying...
