Default Re: I bought my first coupe today - in Brooklyn!

I find no need to double clutch on the way up. Shift early, (don't rev up much), shift slowly (shift into nuetral, wait a second, then into next gear) and make sure the idle is set for low rpm (hand throttle all the way up). On the way down, same thing, wait between gears. If you are in a hurry on the way down, then double clutch and "Blip" the throttle on the nuetral clutch release. Practise, practise, practise. Preferable on a road without traffic, if you can find it there!
