The key is high engine rpm. If you noticed going from 3rd to 4th there is a wide gearing difference. To prevent grinding when shifting down, you have to do either one of these things:
Shift from 4th to 3rd at a slower speed, or
Rev the engine high to compensate for this wide gap in gearing. Practice!
