Is double clutching bad?

[BullShifter]

Actually its quicker not to use the clutch at all. besides starting off from a stop

shifting "really quick" is not good for the tranny - it should be semi-quick & not slammed into gear - even though its seems fun

[PreludeMOFO]

what do u mean not using the clutch at all????

[BullShifter]

exactly what I said -

accelerating release gas slightly & rev match in neutral- then shift.
downshift bump the throttle to rev match while in neutral during the downshift. everything has to perfect for this to work

knowing your car helps - i dont recommend trying for the 1st time in your own car - it takes practice as does heel-toe down shifting with double clutching

you have sinchros in your tranny. You would be wasting time between shifts

[BullShifter]

Its all what you prefer. Some prefer clutch & some dont. Some can do it quicker with the clutch while others do it quicker without . . . . . I think your wasting time & power by pressing the clutch - you will be wasting tons of time if you cant shift properly without the clutch. Under racing condition you want to engage the clutch as little as needed if you must use that thing

If it were up to me all cars would have a sequential gearbox with paddle shifters. Finger clutch & foot clutch for 1st

make sure you are not granny shifting! haha

ps fast and furious causes at least a tenth of a second slower et!!!

Double Clutching actually wastes more time than just slam shifting but it does keep the rpm's up in the gear making for sooner shifting, but there's not much gain from double clutching and if you really want to tear the shit out of your tranny then try straight shifting with no clutch.
