Double clutching in the clio

[Ollie82.]

If you wanna watch a movie with proper double de-clutching in watch the chase in Bullitt, with good ol' Steve ragging the Mustang up through the hills.

Just sit back, turn the sound up and marvel at the driving style.

i can change without clutch, piss easy, just have to know ya gear and ya gear ratios.

only crunched 2 times.

Double clutching is useful on those cold mornings when its stiff to get into gear.

From what I've experienced, I haven't ever found that double de clutching helps on changing up the gears.

But it certainly makes for a smoother gear change when coming down the gears. Really easy in the missus 182 and mums SportKa. Takes a bit more mastering in my 225.

I was under the impression that although you have a synchromesh, double clutching on a down change would put less stress on the clutch????

I find double de-clutching helps with gear selection as the blip in neutral with the clutch engaged before each gear selection helps get all the shafts spinning at the same speeds.

haha...fantastic...

i do this in my 1978 landrover...to stop the gears crunching from 4th to 3rd...

I think staright shifting up the ratios with no clutch is best done with straight cut racing gears which are much stronger. Helical cut gears in normal gearboxes arent as strong. Either way, there's defo no need to declutch when changing up.

I do declutch when dropping gears on the motorway though as it saves wear on the clutch and engine mounts etc IMO.

I can just about do it on downchanges but I rarely do unless im going for a spirited drive, have to really concentrate.

Blipping the down changes makes a nice noise.

thats only for cars with no syncro and when you change down really .nowadays youll more likely to be burning your clutch
