*sigh*....

Driving around town doesn't require "aggressive" downshifts, just a nice, gentle throttle blip to gently bring the revs up, car shifts smoothly with no movement at all--it's smoother than downshifting without the blip. It's not the same as on the track.

Anyway, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one I guess.

And the original poster is dead and gone, so at this point it's all going to deadspace, so I'm out....

 

Yeah, but the dead and gone double clutchers have been replaced by equally overzealous heel and toers.

 

Hey, if someone wants to double clutch let 'em do it! It'll only emphasize their gullibility.

 

I heel toe because I obsessively tap my foot... it just sort of happends

 

And I will continue to dubble (sometimes tripple) clutch the hell out of my Samurai out of nicessity. (God bless its gears, just stay togeather for one more year.)

But I will never do the Ole' Doubble tap to my MINI. Unless after 250,000 miles the trany is about to go and I rebuild the motor with alot more power instead of fixing it. (Sorry Samurai)

 

Huh?

HT can be used in everyday driving when it is practical. I do it out of habit also, but I also will shift the tranny into neutral just as I am coming to a stop light. I will usually just blip the throttle to rev match if I am coming up to a turn that req's little to no braking and go around the corner while in gear. I also rev match to get the car in the right gear for a turn before applying the brakes.

See.....lots of ways to drive w/o adding unnecessary wear and tear.
