Do you double clutch when you shift gears?

[brad sweet]

when drifting a double blip on the clutch at wide open throttle gets the tires spinning foe a slide and throttle steer into a corner

That's the only real reason. If you have time to double clutch you ain't driving it hard enough.
No need to blip my throttle on the Harley before I take off, but I do it anyway. LOL

That's the only way to take off!

It would sound EVEN better if you have a Corsa exhaust (unless you already have one)

Have the performace exhaust which has a loud and a quiet setting. Run it on loud most of the time.
Had a corsa on my Cadillac CTS-V coupe. Great exhaust

No

In a rig. Not in a car. No need

x2. If you learn to drive a rig, they'll teach you to double clutch. That being said, you can still upshift a rig without the clutch if you time it right with engine speed. Works on cars and motorcycles too.

I think I tried to double clutch my Suncoast tranny one night in my Cummins...maybe that's why I blew it...twice.... I heard Bruce Jenner double clutches his tranny....

And if you don't know what a Suncoast Trans is thank God its 2015 and it's legal for you to be one with your partner.

You only really need to DC on a non syncro.

Bringing up the engine speed to match the trans speed is just standard when downshifting. Less wear and tear on the whole drive train. I generally dont downshift when coming to a stop. Easier and cheaper to replace the brakes. Only downshift when making a turn. I put 274,000 miles on one work pickup truck and it still had the original clutch when they replaced it with a newer truck.

I wish I had my '69 Midget back. Had a non syncro first gear but it was no problem.

Not in the last 20 years on the street. The new performance autos actually use a conventional clutch, just electronically controlled. Much faster than you can shift manually. Some even have 2, one on 1, 3, 5 and the other on 2, 4, 6. They preselect the next ratio and just engage one clutch and disengage the other for an almost instantaneous shift.

Talking of which, whose's ever driven a manual with a preselector gearbox ?
