Mine won't even go in unless I rev it 1st, then by the time it's in gear the revs have dropped and I have to blip again so I don't strain the drivetrain.

I will give this a whirl tonight on the way home.
But if you "have to double clutch" to downshift, then I suspect your synchronizer(s) are not doing their job. That would also explain the noise, and possibly the popping out of gear business.
Like I said, none of this is normal.
UPDATE: So I tried this, and several variations. I have a 6.2 with the M6. On the highway I could easily downshift from 6 to 3 at 70 mph. I did it with the rev match feature on, and with it off. I also tried running through all the forward gears with the clutch depressed. No resistance other than that from shift linkage itself. Nothing fought me or wanted to pop out. This is all at about 70-80 mph on the highway.
