Curious if there are those here who do it alot, or only at certain times like when they downshift, or race, etc...

 

No point

 

I triple clutch on the daily. ..b*tches But only because I am a professional (and because my right leg is stronger than my left leg).

 

Pssshh....I quadruple clutch yo! My 2 legs, plus the passengers 2 legs! Beat that fools!!!!

Seriously though. No point, (in a Hyundai). End of discussion.

"Double Clutching" is advantageous in non-synchronized transmissions found in heavy machinery, big trucks, motorcycles, and some race-only applications. The reason they are seen on the racetrack are twofold; one, for their rawness and simplicity and two, for their speed. A synchronized transmissions has brass friction material that is prone to wear and breakage where a non-synchronous transmission is just forged steel gears. They are quicker because there is less sh*t going on in the transmission when shifting, if you've ever driven a race/track car with such a transmission you'll know exactly what I mean once you shift.

One thing I've commonly seen with daily driven track car owners is that they will modify their synchronous transmission to act and feel more like a race trans by cutting off half of the teeth (or "dogs") on the synchros to speed up the shifting process. It works, but not for very long (on a daily) as the downside is increased wear and tear.

 

I only do it when I hit the naawz and the floor panel falls out after I get a danger to manifold indicator.

 

LOL forgot about the danger to manifold. I almost never get that.

 

I beat all yall clutcherz!!!

How about no clutching, eat that dust and metal shavings!!!!!

 

When I drive a semi truck, it's double clutching or no clutch at all. Outside of that don't double clutch.

 

To answer original post question..

About as often as I double dutch.. [/thread]
