very late post!! sorry
but i thot double cluthing is only for trucks
you sir, muckafutha. Have got the right idea! it was and sometimes still needs to be used in car, but now days only with POS gearboxes on their last legs.
double post
ok everyone, from my experience of double clutching. Doubleclutching is downshitfing matching yor revs yes, proper double clutching is not easy, every car is different. You can actually make your car sound really good if you know how to doubleclutch properly, adn the faster you do it, the more impressive it sounds(i am serious)
I've had many people in my car (that know their cars), and whenever i double clutch .. they are like "WTF.. that sounds awesome.what is it?)
hehe..
after u completed a turn, ur already in your desired gear, (because you've changed at the same time u were braking for that turn.)Quote:

Double clutching and heel and toe are good for the clutch if you do it right each time
I've had enough of this... read the rest of the posts... what your talking about is not doubling the clutch.
Doubling the clutch doesn't make ANY sound except for the sound of the fluid from the clutch cylinder being pulled through and pumped to the clutch and the clutch plate opening up. Twice.
Your talking about rev matching and yes i spose it "sounds cool" but has a bigger purpose, and this whole thing is about rev matching. But Doubling the clutch is just ONE form of rev matching.
This is the steps you follow when you double the clutch... remember its for UP-shifting...
depress the clutch.
Remove gear stick from 1st (or what ever gear)
Release the clutch.
Depress the clutch again
Match the revs
Put the gear stick into the next gear
Release the clutch.
N.B. Depressing the clutch the second time and rev matching could be the other way around.
THAT is doubling the clutch... Thats the ONLY motion for doubling the clutch (with the exception of down shifting where your shifting from higher to lower)
Thats it. Theres nothing left to explain. Anything else isn't doubling the clutch. It may be a form of rev matching, but its not ACTUAL doubling the clutch technique.
can i be the first to ask......
(yes.. im a noooob)....
whats the point of rev matching when up shifting.... wont u get more power and less time wasting if u jsut pop it into the next gear!?
never understood vin, when he said "granny shifting, not double clutching like you should be..."
SIKCVC, if u can double clutch fast, ur exhaust will make a very quick rev note, match the gears and stop .. thats the sound it will make..
in a split second.
What you just said is clearly BULLSHIT
cos WHY would u need to match the revs when you upshift, all u gotta do is wait a bit
=\
thats the most pathetic thing i've ever heard.
clearly, u THINK !you know what your talking about.
And i KNOW what i'm talking about. end of that.
Yeah coz my dads NOT a truck driver is he :| (note sarcasm)
Belive what you want. Just makes it easier for people like me to drag people like you who are sitting there depressing the clutch twice.
and WHO gave you the impressoin double clutching is for drag racing??
double clutching is for downshifting, not upshifting, so how does that give u an advantage during drag racing?
i can drive normally and beat u in a drag, if u tried double de super clutching or watever your method is.
=D
hehe
IMHO, you can double clutch UP & DOWN a shift.Quote:

NOW, whether you are shifting up or down, you are double clutching. From one gear to another you have clutched twice. The purpose to "double clutch" on upshift OR downshift is your choice or own discretion.
With modern day synchromesh, i find you only really need to double clutch if you have a worn synchro. You can use it for drag racing, you can use it at the track, you can use it doing a 3 point turn. Up to driver.
bumthology: my 3rd gear synchro is worn out. 2nd to 3rd shift catches or crunches when above 6000rpm. i find it quicker to double clutch into 3rd, rather than *wait a little bit* when shifting normally. This way, i force the synchronising, rather than wait for the synchronising.
"rev matching" is normally done on a downshift. you can rev match when double-clutching down a gear, or when normally down shifiting a gear.
"heel-toeing" is braking & rev-matching on a downshift. you can heel-toe when double-clutching down a gear, or when down shifting normally.
BUt....i could be terribly wrong :?
