Why would you double clutch a modern transmission?

I double clutch anything past 3rd gear cause the 4th gear synchro is notorious for breaking.

I thought you have owned "every" German car ever. Up to and including a 911.

There are maybe 3 confirmed cases on here where a synchro broke on a stock car. If you are double clutching up shifts you are doing it wrong. Really really wrong.

Once again terms are now misused, and are thrown around before they are understood.
Try looking up how to double clutch a crashbox or nonsynchro gearbox. It will help with understanding the need and why. Not many left that have driven a WWII duce and a half. Last edited by ls1ac; 08-26-2017 at 04:19 PM. Reason: added |
