So basically instead of pressing the clutch pedal, and switching gears... you press, put it in neutral, press again, and put it in another gear??



Or am I getting it wrong?

If I'm right.. HOW is that better than regular shifting??

only thing it helps with is the longevity of your clutch and syncros.. but how much it helps with longevity depends, might be negligible.



but theres really no point to double clutch on transmissions with syncros (pretty much every car on the road)



double clutching also helps go into gears more smoothly when down shifting.

Usually only hear people double clutching for fun, or if there running a dogbox! which is extremely rare in a Hyundai, only ever seen one!

Yep there is only 2 things that double clutch on the road Semitrucks and the second usually leads to a crash and akward conversation with a Smokey

In my experience, "double-clutchng" is another term for rev-matching or heel-toe downshifting. watch some videos of drifting or track racing in Japan and they'll use cameras down by the drivers feet. you'll see what i'm talking about when the drivers foot is on the gas and brake while the other is on the clutch during some shifting here are some links to good examples...

Heel-toe is not double clutching, but it is full of win. Unlike double clutching which is not.

I have found double clutching useful on vehicles that grind syncros during a shift. I would double clutching before going into the bad syncro gear with minimal to no grinding. The longer I drove it that way I noticed less and less grinding.
