Yeah, sometimes I'll double clutch or brake boost, but most of the time i drive carefully and I always shift properly.
no, i didn't mean RPM range..... thats too broad... I ment RPM....
the right RPM range is good for your average driver, but it still makes things like your synchros work and your gears have to line up and all that jazz. At the exact right RPM, the gears line up with out the synchros, and therefore, you don't even need the clutch...
see what I'm sayin.
I'm not saying that you beat on your tranny all day and what not, I'm just saying that you could get better.... 99% of everyone could get better. In my experience, I have found that double clutching helps train your brain to think in two terms. Taking it out of gearn and putting it another gear. Most of us drive with one term, Shifting... See the difference?
