Oh one last thing, you say it's smoother to double clutch....I VERY seriously doubt that!! I've never had anybody who's ridden with me in a manual complain about it not being smooth. Maybe it's YOU who doesn't know how to drive one properly and that's why you think it's better/smoother to double clutch! Just saying...

I double clutch if I skip a gear when downshifting, like if I need to do 5-3 for some reason. I dunno.

I don't double clutch, also have never replaced any transmission parts on my manual transmission cars (except I added a short shift kit to the impreza, but that is more for me than the car), that I have bought exclusively since replacing the automatic transmission on an older Honda accord, that cost more to replace than the car was really worth.
But I also don't drive my car like it is a racecar, maybe that is why everything stays in workable condition? If I keep the Impreza for 10 years, maybe I will be replacing the clutch...is 150,000-200,000 miles of wear acceptable on the original clutch? |

For being an ASE certified mechanic, you should know better than to bring a motorcycle into the fold. Entirely different transmission constructions that don't shift anything alike. You couldn't double clutch a motorcycle if you wanted. You blip at most, and there is no comparison.

I always shift into 2nd before I hit reverse in a 5 speed. I've never had to double clutch anything except the twin disk, and that's only when racing when I need to shift it quicker. My father drag raced in the mid 60's, and before they had synchro mesh type transmissions. They used to fabricate a loop over clutch pedal to slide foot in to be able to double clutch quicker. I laughed because my older brother bought a new mustang gt when he was 16, and my dad hadn't driven a stick since he raced. He took us for a ride and besides scaring me to death (I was 11 then), he drove it like his old Chevelle and squeezed every ounce it had. He double clutched, blipped throttle with each gear change and that little pony was all over the road. I thought it was the fastest car in the world at that point. Then dad parked it and said it ran ok, but wasn't that fast. My brother and I were pail as a ghost as we hadn't seen anyone drive like that, and certainly didn't know dad could. He had a new corvette then, but it was an auto and he babied it when we were with him. It was cool though, as you never knew it was shifting cause he only barely let off throttle for a split second during the gear change. But the RPM'S would go up the second before he shifted. It was quick, and impressive for an 11 y/o, but he taught me how to drive. That was back when an 11 second car was fast. Now you can almost buy them from the factory.

It "works fine" in the sense you get away with it, but long run you're wearing everything out as your synchros are eating the difference.

If you do not know, then you've obviously never driven a high hp car with twin disk clutches. Unless maybe the cheap knock off twin disk I've seen people use just because they want others to hear the rattle of it. |

All you are doing by double clutching is causing unnecessary additional wear to the release bearing, clutch disc fingers, pilot bearing and mechanical or hydraulic clutch linkage which will cause them to fail earlier than they otherwise would. You don't know what you are talking about. |

I don't know what your application is, must be fairly specific. But dual and even triple disc clutches have become fairly popular in the diesel pickup world. Guys running 500-800 or more HP through them to motivate a 7,000+ pound truck. And I never hear of anyone claiming a need to double clutch them.

No really, explain yourself. Double clutching on up shifts involves WAITING for the RPM's to drop. Explain to me how waiting is faster? |

I'm sorry, the more you talk, the more you show that you don't know what you don't know. I have a modified diesel truck, certainly can't compare truck trans to a car trans. And unless you dumped about 80K into your corvette engine, I don't consider that in the category I'm speaking of. I'm a vette guy as well, again not what I'm talking about. Running leaded race gas? What octane are you tuned for? I think this conversation has gotten way off base, but I really don't want to wait around for all of my boost to bleed off. Your talking about double clutching as you see it, and your car, your life, your choice. Maybe its a fantastic idea that all of us owners that act like 16 y/o girls are too dumb to realize. However, there is another reason for it too. My trans and twin carbon solid center disk clutch will not allow me to quickly shift without double clutching. Just the nature of the setup. Maybe it's that coupled with the 32-38 psi boost its running with the current tune.

What is the point of even having synchronizers if you're not going to let them do their job? It's like suffering in the heat instead of turning on the A/C for fear of wearing out the compressor some day. |

I'm not saying that you are wrong for doing what you're doing, by all means, it is your car, and you can do what you want. I guarantee you however that given the same vehicle, without any defects, my transmission would last just as long or longer than yours. I agree with the guys who brought up about not using your ac because it may burn up down the road. With your argument of why you double clutch, I could use that for almost anything! Do you shut your engine off when coasting to a stop and restart it when the light turns green? All that idle time will cause more bearing wear ya know! I bet you don't use your turn signals either, or when you do it's probably only 1-2 blinks because the bulbs will last longer, right? Again I say, come on dude, get off your high horse! Stop acting like you're better than everyone just because nobody agrees with your opinion. |
