Double Clutching, How and Why

How would one learn to effectively double clutch, and what is the significant benefit of learning how to do this?

Actual double clutching is only needed when driving a BUS or a BIG TRUCK. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!! double clutching is when you engage clutch take out of gear, let clutch out, engage again, then shift into gear. I do believe your talking about speed shifting, where you match RPM so that you dont have to engage the clutch to put it in gear....which in turn would save you time while racing. However it is extremly hard on your tranny and not worth learning on your car.....learn on someone elses...hehe

Wow, best advice on speed shifting ever.

people watch too much fast and furious, lol. double clutching is good if your synchros are going on your tranny. its a way to save your synchros. but yeah its not faster, whenever anyone tells me or ask me about double clutching , i lauugh then say, "no no it works, you should do it." lol

that was the most idiotic quote from fast and the furious "granny shifting not double clutching like you should" you guys are right, that would be the case if we were driving 4th gen Peterbilt big rigs. now shifting without using the clutch is a different story...

Yeah - snapped a clutch cable in one of my 1st gen Civics - put into 1st gear, start motor, bunny hop, then try and slip it in when the revs are right - it's amazing how much punishment a 1G Civic can take ;)

my cousin has a 96 dodge neon DOHC and he shifts without using teh clutch all the time.. hell saves on the clutch. now i tried to do that but im missing one integral thing... TACHOMETER. its nice sometimes to know what RPM your engine is revving at :rolleyes:

Yeah if you think about how long it would take to Double Clutch, it would be horrible for drag racing. Unless you drive a 4spd GTO or something, you don't need it.

OMG 50 posts!! w00t now im not a n00b haha

lets see how much hate mail i get for posting a "crappy american car" on here haha

This American car will kick that Neons ass...

No way, Moonshine from Uncle Jesse's Still, nothin' less.

i been meaning to say, your car looks pretty bad ass with the white and carbon fiber hood. you got good clear corners too haha not SUPER WHITE like most.

Yeah they are pretty decent, I think it's mostly the depth to the reflective parts inside that makes them look different.

Unless you drive a 4spd GTO or something, you don't need it.

i got your gto right here, lol. now this is a muscle car. faster than any honda or flying duke of hazzards car. this is a local pick someone took of me racing this car. damn its fast

i got another pic of me racing

If you have a GTO why waste time on Honda.

its not my car, its my friends. my friend let me race it. he took the pic of me racing his car. its a 9 sec car. but i did low 10s in it

i have a 91 civic hatch

OWNED!! :dogpile:

Like your Galant is a helluva lot faster....... And there are crxs, hatches, and sedans here that would own your car like Mr. T ripping apart a lil girl who mouthed off. Not saying that my hatch could beat yours but it will be able to in a short while. P.S get a lancer EVO
