Double Clutching

I took my test about 5 years ago and double clutching was required

 

I would think if one knows how to float the gears they would know how to double clutch. The inspectors nowadays may not understand that thought process. If the DMV staff member (I would have there name readily available) told you that, I would be prepared regardless to double clutch so to pass & be on my way.

 

That's what I thought too, as far as being able to double clutch, but in my case, I'd haveta disagree, I've floated the gears for so long, that when I took a road test for a new employer a few years back, I tried double clutching, yeah, wasn't pretty HAHAHA!!!, so asked the tester if I had to DC and he said "drive how you're used to driving" so rest of the test went great.

 

I doubt I could either. I had to learn just long enough to pass the test, it was required 29 yrs ago. Luckily my Dad taught Me. He believed the Eaton propaganda films, he saw. Also was a Trainer, so it was part of his Job I guess. When I found out he used the clutch, I couldn’t believe it. I think I’d damage my Transmission if I tried. Definitely put extra wear on clutch and driveline. I suppose if you just floated and fit the double clutch into the process, it would work.

 

Just tap the clutch enough to take up the free pedal and float like normal.

 

Tell them your CB handle is Lightfoot. Clutch foots so fast. Can’t be seen with the naked eye.

 

I shift double clutching, and truthfully, half the time that's all that I do.
