One of my old old boxes used to do that. From second, I just used to put it in neutral, bring the clutch up and raise the revs (to match them to to the equivalent rpms of 2nd to 1st) , then clutch in and into first . The only difference to normal downchange really being to completely disangage the gears by being in neutral with the clutch up. Used to help with it.
