Double clutch for manual transmission
Is it necessary to double clutch every time you up shift and down shift?
Sometime I double clutch when down shift. I never double clutch for up shift, you have to be very quick for up shifting. To all manual transmission owner, do you double clutch at all ? |

I dont do it ever. I dont even think you need to with today's manual transmissions. I do of course rev match (and have perfected it since I got my car in September) when downshifting, but no double clutch. Unneccessary ![]() |

Double clutching helps with transitioning to high revs (downshifting).

sorry, but what exactly is double cluthing? Is that when you put it into manual, and then from manual to another gear?

Only if your name is Lt. Frank Bullitt and you're chasing two hit men in a 1968 Dodge Charger.

The only time I double clutch is when I want to downshift more smoothly or don't want to slide in icy road conditions when downshifting.
