Now let me be perfectly clear. I am not talking about the act of double clutching, but just the term “double clutching”. It is misleading, in that it leads one to believe the there is some magic involved in pushing the clutch pedal twice.
Smoothly shifting the model A every time does involve pushing the clutch pedal twice.
1. Clutch out of gear
2. “De-clutch” (foot off the pedal) in neutral
3. Clutch into the next gear
Happy shifting!

Hi
Can someone explain me what exactly will be the process of "Double Clutching ".
What I quoted above I always assumed that was double clutching.
1. Clutch out of gear
2. “De-clutch” (foot off the pedal) in neutral...FIRST CLUTCHING (1+2)
3. Clutch into the next gear
4. De-clutch (foot off again) ... SECOND CLUTCHING (3+4)
In other words, for me each time you push the clutch and then let it free is "one clutching process".
Thanks !!

Ps: When I was driving more modern cars, for upshift I only used "1 clutching" due to synchronized gears.
1. Push clutch
2.upshift directly (i.e 2nd to 3rd)
3. De-clutch (take out the foot)
That's why in my mind the term "Double Clutching " always means "do that twice" (the clutch movement).
Now I am confused on how the terms are being used.
Best !!
