Do you float gears or double clutch?

When I started floating, I found when I tried to DC, it was off and just didn't feel right any more.
Since then I've been DC more and can comfortably say, I do equally well with them both.
"Well" is a subjective term of course

Also, I have noticed, when I'm tired, or frustrated about something (like today, getting my lame ### pay check!) I shift much, much worse...

 

Something gets you out of rhythm and suddenly you're missing the gears.


I float almost exclusively. Even popping it out of gear, I know how to finesse the throttle to get it to slide right out. Only time I clutch is if I really need to get it out of gear (like downshifting for a shorter offramp) and I don't have as much time.

Starting floating when I hurt my back and my left leg became a pain to lift while seated. I could if I wanted to, but floating was just easier. Now, I float everything up or down.

 

Very cute, but not even close.

 

When did we start clutching gears in big trucks? That would take the fun out of driving. ------
Truck driving schools are trying to make driving a truck a job anyone can do when it is not. *******
Just recently the clutch rod between my pedal and the trans broke. I drove through New Orleans without a clutch. What does someone who doesn't know how to float do in this circustance ????

 

Hard on that starter motor to pull that off, unless you cruised right through without having to come to a complete stop.

Either they learn to float or they stop and call a tow truck.

 

hell now i think you have to be able to double clutch during your skills test or they auto take off 5 points

 

i would hate to be your knees right now if you always dbl clutch

 

I originally learned to float gears and passed my dmv test that way but since going "company," I started double clutching since the employers generally like it. The problem now is I can't untrain myself from dc, it just comes natural, just like downshifting for almost every stop before using the service brake.

 

I learned to double clutch specifically for my driving test, and when I did it the examiner said quote "What are you doing? You can't float?" lol

 

I never double clutch. I use the clutch from a dead stop, and to get out of gear when I'm downshifting.
