Double Clutching

There are those that do and those that don't. It's kind of like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg? Drivers on both sides claim their way is better, I had an instructor once say "it don't matter it's gonna cost money anyway, just pay it a little at a time or all at once" He was referring to replacing clutches or transmissions.

 

this subject comes up alot do a search and you will see it is a back and forth...

 

should be okay, but you have proven my central moaner point - real world does not fully make it into studies, this wont be the only thing you have to "unlearn" or warp around to a realistic view but never let that distract total concentration on what is around and in front of the vehicle as any time one's mind is on other than that we get bad stuff

 

Do what you feel comfortable with.

Much easier to double clutch when youre starting offf, I still double.clutch when up shifting but float when downshifting going up a hill/grade usually if u double clutch then ull be too slow.and miss.the.gear

 

This is very true. I used to double clutch all the time cuz that's what i was taught and comfortable with. But I will say I felt weird cuz my left knee would be sore every night.

I started floating, very rusty at first but decided to not look at my speed and rpms but rather listen to the engine. After I did that i now have no problems floating. One of the members on here said it should only take two fingers to take it out and put it in gear. That's all it takes with floating for me. I will say i had to change my timing a lot. Now when I double clutch I grind cuz my timing is off.

Oh and my left knee doesn't bother me anymore.

geez, i guess im a slow shifter since i use the clutch to downshift going up a hill. Dont remember the last time i missed a gear using the clutch for that. The way i see it in my head you would be shifting slower not using it and more prone to do some grinding. But what do i know, im a dumb truck driver. Lol.
