    That's how I shift. I press down on the clutch move the stick to neutral and then into gear while holding the clutch down.

    You're halfway there! :) Double clutching is clutch in, into nuetral, clutch out to stop gear spin, clutch in, into gear. Single clutching is for 4 wheelers only.

    If it's working out okay the way I'm doing it now though then why bother double clutching?

    Just blip the throttle and put it outa gear and then revmatch if needed for the next, its not hard. If a trucker can do it anyone can!
