ok i am really sick of the misconceptions and myths that go around of what double clutching is and the benefits.

Double clutching is used when you shift from 3rd to 2nd or 4th to 3rd etc. say your cruising in 3rd and u see some guy fly past u and you drop it back, you usually get that first jolt of compression before you car takes off. If your in third and you clutch in then neautral clutch out then rev then clutch in and 2nd (providing you matched the revs approx right) then you get no compression and your car gets power straight away and you do not get the compression jolt that slows u down at all.

Just to get things straight!

This is also better on your tranny as it doesnt put nearly as much as stress on it.

I just laugh when i see people double clutching from first to second etc, it just slows you down.
