Default Re: Double Cluching

There really is no need to double-clutch the up-shift[take your time and just shift normally and slowly], but, it will help you gain timing,experience and muscle memory for down-shifting.. Some of the fellas state that they 'blip' on the down-shifts,, I don't.. I just raise the engine speed to where I think it needs to be and leave it there, shift, let the clutch out and not change foot position on the throttle at all.. All this is, is, practice, practice and more practice.. So,there is more than one way of doing this, so which ever way you like the best will work.. But, don't worry, whenever you have an audience will be the time you make the worst shift of your life.. We've all been there and have had to buy the t-shirt..
