wondering how to double clutch?

[xintersecty]

OK, I started practicing this process and it's not easy. I have a couple of questions.

Going up the gears, I don't see a need to double clutch there. I should just speed shift it quickly as possible. Is this a correct assumption?

Going down the gears, I do see the need to double clutch there. This is the place to double clutch, right?

In combination with Left Foot Braking, the Aveo pedal setup is too cramped. The brake needs to move over a little bit to the left. Now I know why race car drivers use skinny shoes.

you don't double clutch shifting up as far as i know, you pull the car out of gear and then smack the clutch to put it in the next gear. I also don't know about braking during double clutching, i understand it is to downshift to pass, not downshift to slow down.

I have learned to double clutch back in the day, but it is not something i do.

Double clutching is useless in transmissions where synchronizers are used. Unless you drive very aggressively and don't want the jerk associated with the synchro's trying to mesh when downshifting at high rpm. It is very hard to learn and might actually put more wear on the transmission, clutch and motor mounts if you are not good at it (I.E. : while learning).

i honestly think it would wear the clutch even if you know how. but the technique does work well with unsprung race clutches..

Which you won't find on an Aveo. If someone really want's to learn how to double clutch, then they should try driving a semi.

[petrified.rabbit]

i shift fast enough. and my great grandmother lost her license at 97 for driving 90 mph in a 25, and telling the cop she didnt have enough time left in this world to slow down. she lived to 105.

[thehunterooo]

[petrified.rabbit]
