sorry try again

double clutching is for downshifting...
say you are in 4th gear, clutch in, shift into nuetral, clutch out, blip throttle, clutch in, shift into 3rd, clutch out.
you dont have to do this with most newer trannys because they have synchros that help with downshifting, however when racing or downshifting into higher rpms it is easier on the synchros to double clutch and it will make the downshift smoother. do a search and you will find that this question has been answered many times.

double clutching has nothing to do with drag racing because you would never downshift in a drag race, unless you are a granny shifter. haha

you are describng rev-matching.

double-clutching is used on upshifts, but more handy on Mack trucks with very meaty gears.
(1st, clutch in, shift to neutral, blip throttle, clutch in, shift to second).

try driving a car that says 3rd gear grinds and then double clutch it while you up shift wow it dont grind do to that you are lineing up everything before it goes into gear thats is where double clutching comes into play


and it is not used for any drag raceing porpous

yup, exactly. all double clutching is is a technique in downshifting. in road racing this really helps because it allows for a smoother transition in downshifting when coming out of turns.

here, read this it will explain it all:

rev matching is similar but its a little different and requires you to rev your engine while you have the clutch in.

 

if you own a VW you HAVE to know how to double clutch cause the syncros on those things go out quick.

 

pointless

 

Pointless for racing, but if you want it to shift smoother (not faster) on the street, double clutching helps.

 

wow, haha. so many different ideas. ok, but at least i know its not for racing, so i dont care anymore, haha.
