Granny shifting or Double clutching
What do you men/women prefer to do in order to save the clutch. Lets say we are on a somewhat crowded highway and you dont need to be anywhere, your just cruising...
would you rather shift slow or double clutch?

RE: Granny shifting or Double clutching
im pretty sure doubleclutching is a term used when driving semi-trucks......i could be wrong though. Granny shifting is the best way to save the clutch. All I do is granny shift. I never powershift while im racing. Guess its paid off since my stock clutch has over 100 thousand miles on it and still takes a 100 shot without slipping......

RE: Granny shifting or Double clutching
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
