R380 TD5 clutch, Issue, Failure or designed that way?
Just noticed something odd with my clutch/ Gearbox. Not sure if its because i'm using it more often or Whether something has actually changed.

So when i change down gears the stick will prevent me changing down unless my revs get down to an appropriate level. there are three large Hills where i live and i Often use engine breaking for obvious reasons.

is this a safety mechanism? has this always been the case?
Is my clutch or gearbox having an issue? do i need a new clutch? (Clutch weight and height is fine)

Thoughts chaps? I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

I did try a double de clutch, seems to only want to work 30% of the time. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

On the assumption that you're double-declutching correctly that does suggest a gearbox fault. Even if the synchro has become completely ineffective you should be able to change gear smoothly and silently.
