Using a manual transmision in a drag race is not the better of the two types. When you push the cluch in the power to the wheels is no longer giving any power, and you slow down. An automatic trani goes straight from 1 gear to the next with out loosing power to the wheels. You can shift a manual trani with out using the cluch but not recomended cause it'll tare up the trani and cluch.

YEs, you are right. Although shifting a tranny with a clutch will not tear up the clutch. the sound you hear grinding is really the syncros. The only way to do this is (on an older p.o.s. car) accelerate normally. let off the gas(don't touch the clutch)and gently pull the shifter out of gear and put pressure on it into the next gear u wanna go into. Whan it internals slow down enough, the shifter will slip right into gear. Double clutching is only necessary on tranny's without syncros. such as dog cut gear boxes and semi- trucks. And the above mentioned tactic was invented by truck drivers to avoid double clutching. Back in the day pro drag racers used it too. it was said that it sounded like and automatic equipped car with an extra gear. practice makes perfect
