[QUOTE="sakuraguy, post: 480273, member: 6441"] .. continuation from above regarding DOUBLE CLUTCHING Double declutching (sometimes spelt double de-clutching) is a technique that, if done properly, allows you to down shift smoothly using a manual transmission. Double declutching also allows you to down shift when using a gear box that has no "synchros", or worn "synchros". If you have trouble getting into one or two particular gears, especially when down shifting, you may have worn syncros. Double declutching will also reduce wear and tear on your synchros even if you have good ones, increasing the life of your transmission. Finally, this technique will also allow you to go into first gear when you are moving at slow speeds (10-30kph) even if your gear box would usually resist such a shift. Being able to shift down to first while still moving at these speeds can give you that extra push needed when rolling up to a set of traffic lights that change to green before you stop moving, or in a race where you have to slow down for some reason and then want to take off again in a hurry. This technique can be used on its own, or as is more often the case, as part of the heel and toe technique. This article will describe the process of double declutching only, if you wish to learn the heal and toe technique follow the links provided here or on our tips page. Note however that double declutching is a lot easier to learn than the heal and toe technique and if you plan to do both together you may be better off learning this first, then moving on to the other. So, how do you double declutch ? There are really two parts to the process, the actions required to double declutch, and a second process called Rev Matching. The actions are quite simple, even if they do require some practice. The basic movements are as follows : -Clutch in (press the clutch pedal to the floor) -Move the gear stick to NEUTRAL -Clutch out (release the clutch pedal to its normal position) -Blip the accelerator (push on the accelerator pedal so the revs rise and fall) -Clutch in again -Move the gear stick to the new gear -Clutch out again [/QUOTE]
