[QUOTE="MFE, post: 5971638, member: 36397"] Because double-clutching the upshift of a synchronized box provides no benefit, as on an upshift the mainshaft needs to decelerate to the appropriate RPM and its natural tendency is to do that anyway, the synchros just speed the process. Whereas in a downshift, you're forcing the shaft to accelerate, opposite its natural tendency, and it's nice to give the synchro's a helping hand. [/QUOTE]
