Is this really neccesary? does it help much? what are yall's thought

 

For drag racing? Ah, no.

 

Ummm double clutching is an old driving skill; reason for it was the old trannies were not synchronized. The transmissions of today are synchronized and double clutching isnt necessary. Now if you are auto crossing or something along those lines, holding the gear in neutral and rev matching is a good skill to know, but not for drag racing IMO.

 

"...granny shifting, not double clutchin like he should" This will just kill your times cus you're pressing the clutch twice for no reason.

I hear rumors that double clutching during normal semi-civilized street driving is actually benefitial for the tranny because it allows the syncros more time to mesh, thus less stress,thus less wear. Neal can you confirm/ disprove this notion?

I live life 18.6MPG highway at a time, for those 290mi or less, I am dreading going back to the gas station- 95BlkMax.... FTL

 

Yes, It will reduce synchro wear. I do it on the street sometimes when downshifting.

 

someones been watching to my F&F. You dont need to double clutch anymore, but i do it occasionaly especially on down shifting. Normally i just dont have enough time to.

 

ya well some guy at a auto place recently told my buddy its the best thing ever but he drives hondas so i figured yall would know better. thanks!

 

thank neal. that is exactly where I do it, downshifting.

Why is a honda guy praising double clutchin? WTF! If I were him I'd be praising the fact on some honda trannies you dont even have to press the clutch! just jam the shifter into the next gear! I've seen this stuff, its scary. Granted, those trannies dont last much, (gee i wonder why), but hell its quite the fast shift. **** asked me if he could show me how to do it in my car, I told him "GTFO my car with that junk! My tranny costs more than ur civic!"

 

ahahaha honda guys...

 

I can't stop laughing at this part. It's hilarious.

I don't know how many threads have asked about double clutching, yet I still don't even know what it is.

 

when you rev-match downshift, take the clutch out in neutral ... that is it. It is harder to do then rev-matching because you can rev-match in any position (previous gear, neutral, next gear, inbetween the gears), but double clutching must be done in neutral to line up the synchros.

I only do it because my 2nd and 3rd gears have bad synchros. I have just been single clutch rev matching, but when my new clutch breaks to 1K mark I will start double clutching and maybe heel-and-toe

Go to standardshift.com and read all the BS there ... you will get it.
