[QUOTE="Cobra'03, post: 338343, member: 3013"] Uhhhh. double clutching is worse than granny clutching - here is the def. of DC as I know it. Used to use this technique to drive big rig trucks. Double Clutching First of all let's deal with the "double declutching " issue. This is really only the British term for 'double clutching' and makes reference in some way I suppose, to the fact that it is usually a downshifting maneuver in disengaging the clutch. The first stage in a full 'heel and toe' gear change is the simple use of double clutching. On its own this is a fairly simple little dance of the toes and it goes like this: 1. You are driving along in your TR, MG or whatever in third gear for example, approaching a corner and preparing to shift to second. You brake with the left edge of the ball of your right foot as usual. 2. Depressing the clutch with your left foot the shift lever passes through neutral as this happens you release the clutch pedal out again half way, thus setting the mechanics of the clutch assembly in motion again. 3. Then fully depress the clutch to complete your shift into second. [/QUOTE]
