Down Shift W/O the Clutch!
 

Recently I have been trying to learn the forgotten art of double clutching. For all those who do not know what double clutching is, research elsewhere...

Applying these principles I discovered that a 6MT with syncro-rev engaged can downshift (and up-shift most times) without the clutch.

Try this.

1. from 5th gear push the clutch in.(or just pul the gear lever w/o the clutch)
2. next move the gear lever into neutral.
3. let the clutch out.
4. now without depressing the clutch push the gear lever to 4th gear.
5. Viola! The syncro-rev blips the throttle and the lever falls into 4th without needing to clutch in!

why?

Why don't you get Auto?

:wtf2:

Double clutching granny shifting...

:hohoho:

Clearly you do not understand the art of the double clutch. It is a technique that allows the smoothest shift possible in a manual transmission. An added bonus is that a master at this technique can drive a manual car with a blown clutch.

Please do some research on double clutching and then respond...

Correct for cars that don't has syncro's There is no point to double clutch in the Z.

Also you are talking about shifting without the clutch......got news for you. That's not double clutching.

I'm pretty sure most people on here know exactly what you're talking about. I think they're just ripping on you for thinking it's some new invention that you need to start a thread about. Clutchless shifting is nothing new.. And is not double clutching.


EDIT: Beaten to it.

again ......why?

:ohsnap1:

:wtf2:

I think we need a WTF3 icon in this case.

OP can I haz your VIN#, I am compiling a list for posterity :driving:

No need to rail on a fellow Virginia boy.

I think most of us already knew that we could shift without the clutch, but for any of the newbs out there this is a good thing to know should they ever destroy a clutch in the middle of nowhere, so this is useful information.
