Sorry pal, but there is no reason to double clutch with a modern transmission. It was done in trans with no sycros but it is not needed anymore and doing it will not save any wear and tear on anything. I am glad your 17 years old and know how to use google.

well they say double clutch saves the synchornizers in the gear box (doesnt put alot of stress on it) but i like double clutching when i have a drastic gear change sucks at 5th to 2nd; just to let the engine set down to the right rpms but in performance car double clutching is the way of life KIDS. This is comming from a 16/17 year old as well

Edit: Why do you say 16/17 year old?? YOU ARE STILL 16. In two weeks you can call yourself 17. This is all coming from a 15 year old too

I was looking through the pictures and i was wondering which tool are you; hopefully your not the one in the pink. I love these internet tough guys; do a little googling and you can find everything; maybe find yourself a cutie; maybe even on myspace

Ummmm good one? If you could read the caption below it would tell you that I'm the one in the pink. That was a long time ago but if I was embarassed of that picture I probably wouldn't have it in my photo gallery so that didn't make any sense at all.

You don't need to double clutch. You have synchros. There's no garuntee that double clutching will match the transmission gear speeds any better than your synchro can. It's a technique you that used to be necessary in old cars or in semis that don't have synchros.
Downshifting it might help but it's still not necessary. If you're racing like in the Fast and the Furious, it makes no sense whatsoever, it only slows you down.

look F**k it; if you shift fast, slow, hard, easy, double clutching, not even using the clutch. If you get to point b from point a; GOOD. I was just asking most people do for fun; and maybe ig someone did have an old car. Im just putting it out there. [sm=massbounce.gif]
