The Lounge - i feel stupid

ok i feel like a total retard asking you guys this. but what exactly is double clutching and how does it help acceleration?

thanks

"The shifter, rather than going straight to the next gear, makes a stop in neutral and then the clutch is released. This is to allow the engine to slow down (or with a tap on the gas, speed up when downshifting) so the transition into the next gear is much more smooth. The driver then depresses the clutch again and completes the shift into the target gear, and finally the clutch is released again, putting the car back into gear. It only takes a split second for the engine speed to match the speed of the gears, so the entire action is done very quickly as a fluid sequence of events."

Don't feel dumb, I looked that up to give you the best explanation. I tend to babble.

Read the ****ing manual

Double clutching is pretty much useless unless you drive a manual truck pre 1950, or a big rig

unless you idolize vinny. then double clutching is very necessary

I was bout to say, double clutching is absolutely useless nowadays
