i double clutch 1st to 2nd because i have a brass button clutch and i was changeing gears at 9000rpm so i didnt wanna snap it in a go sideways



and double clutching just slows down the shifting abit and transfers the rpm to the wheels abit better



for every1 that doesnt know double clutching is when you put the clutch in take it half the way out put it back in tap the accelerator and change gears as you tap the accelerator then take your foot off the clutch



its quite easy you just need to be quick with it

oh and i can tell when my car backfires because you can hear it pop and i saw a light come from the back of the car



the car also bucks like a bridgey because its not tuned properly

it serves more purposes than slowing down your shifts...

letting the clutch out half way does nothing. to do a true double clutch you are shifting from 3-2. You press the clutch. put car in neutral, let out clutch. Push clutch in and shift to 2nd. It helps extend the life in your transmission. I don't know what your doing but its not double clutching. I've never had my car going sideways when I take off. It takes a lot of power to twist a car sideways on a shift, ie: pro drag car.

and it makes your rice-o-meter go off the scale being able to say i double clutched.. just like the fast and the furious..... SHAME!!

What some refer to as double clutching is upon acceleration, kicking the clutch to allow the RPM to jump in range a little..getting into power band a little sooner...typical VTEC, VVTI, etc technique... it's been proven on the track to gain a tenth or so...but it's pointless on most vehicles.



Double clutching can also be what donhayes speaks of, thats a typical thing for semi-truck drivers to do..you sometimes have to depending on the truck/load.



What rotaheadalex is talking about almost sounds like feathering the clutch...if done right...can be good to keep traction on cars with decent power..if done wrong or too often..prematurely kills the clutch disc.

get used to it

truckers dont clutch it at all unless they are stopped. thats why you see so many broken down semi trucks after a hill on the highway. its hard to time the rpms right when goin up a hill.

p.s. my aunt drives a semi and used to own her own business.
