Default Re: Clutch

kathyricks (more on the rick's than the kathy I suppose?): What you explained above is not double clutching - its simply blipping the throttle for rev matching purposes and I would assume ANYONE who flogs a manual trans downshifts this way(otherwize, If I were to be your passenger, I would have spilled most of my SOBE drink on my shirt halfway trough the sojourn. Anywho ... I will not explain double-clutching in its boring entireity here, but the process essentially involves shifting into neutral and releasing the clutch before then again clutching to select the next gear. A benefit when driving non-syncromesh lorrie boxes back in the day
