well if you dont double clutch your gonna feel the car buck because its gonna be coming in from a lower rpm to a higher without being revved up. you will wear out your tranny without double clutching a lot faster

Clutch, shift into neutral, off the clutch, clutch, shift into gear, off the clutch.
5th gear is messed/messing up in my tranny, and it actually DOES make it easier to go by double-clutching. In terms of racing though, it could only help slow you down IMO

If you're not double clutching, you might was well granny shift. Just watch out that you don't blow the welds on the intake. I hate it when that happens.
FYI, almost every post in this thread is sarcastic. Including this one.
Cap'n Pete has it right.
I finally bought 2F-2F last night. My wife and I watch them as slapstick comedies. Brian is such a

Well, since every response in this thread has been sarcastic, just about, I'll answer it for ya. There is no need for double clutching on new transmissions for that is what syncros are for. Back in the old days with transmissions without syncros, I believe double clutching did make a difference. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
