unless the grill says KenWorth or FreightLiner, then double-clutching is a waste of time. he's a ricer & next time you oughta call him out on it.

or do what i do when i hear some1 say "i double-clutch"...

"i woulda beat ya if my apex seal didn't blow when i hit VTEC"

Double-clutching is the proper way to downshift without placing excessive wear on the transmission's synchronizers. It is not used for driving straight. It's used more in autocross with turns and curvy roads to come out of turns faster. Basically it's down shifting while disengaging the clutch twice and putting it in neutral inbetween those times you disengage the clutch...

Say you're comin' up on a turn in 4th gear, you'd disengage the clutch, shift into neutral, engage the clutch, press on the gas to rev the engine to where the rpms would be, (as if in 3rd) disengage the clutch, shift into 3rd gear, engage clutch, and you're on your way out of the turn and you've just double clutched.

FYI TF&TF did not use "double clutching" correctly. Why would you ever downshift when going straight... some movies!

This is how I've understood double-clutching, if anyone wants to add anything to what I said feel free...

EDIT: Dang! In the time it took me to type and post that, 32 ppl posted before me. When I started, no one had posted, lol.

thats how i think double clutching is. helps with turning for me or downshifting, less strain on the clutch and tranny. F&F is just retarded, making people believe double clutching is some fancy way to race. h:

actually older cars, for instance my dad's austin healey, require this.
