Double?

Re: Double?

^^ Your talking about 'side stepping'.....plays hell with all your drivetrain components......

and I will usually double clutch if I skip more than one gear.....sometimes even if I only skip one gear....but sequential I agree is useless to double clutch.

Re: Double?

i guess i just explained it badly, but people do it all the time, if you have enough power you can chirp the tires in almost every gear.

say your cruisin a long, you literally kick the clutch. The rpms shoot up a little and then the clutch catches and you get a jolt of power.

Ok. In drifting that's called clutch kicking. It can initiate a drift or change the angle once in a drift. Like Nikon, said it's going to lay a beat down on your drivetrain.

Re: Double?

I am noob with 6 spd tranny. But if I recall, I do the rev matching when downshifting. I think only when I go for drastic downshifting, that's when I do double clutching.

Re: Double?

only gotta double clutch an 18 wheeler if you are too slow besides if you know what you are doing you don't have to touch the clutch after starting off in first.

Maybe a newer one, I was driving an Israeli Air Force fuel truck, and it was old and had a big bulldog on the hood. I grinded (is that a word?) many a gear in that truck.

Re: Double?

i noticed you were granny shifting, not double clutching like you should.

Hysterical.

No, you do not have to double clutch modern day cars.

I used to drive a 1968 Mack DM-800 dump truck. It had two stick shifts and 20 gears. If you were a rookie you double clutched, if you were a pro you rev matched the shifts, no clutch after you got it rolling.

Re: Double?

on down shifting I sort of do. I also rev match. I didn't really need to in my 2k camaro, but I had tons of transmission problems in my 3.4L tht the synchros were bad on several gears. SO I started double clutching and rev matching, now I do it almost every car I drive. I don't need to 100%, but you can tell the shifter goes in more effortlessly so I do it toe extend the synchros life.


may say its not worth it, but I raced my 3.8L alot and I never really had any sychro issues. On my first tranny they were getting little worn, but then I snapped the outputshaft, so it didn't matter.
