If anyone is telling you that Double Clutching is
harder on the transmission vs regular shifting, they probably need to wear a helmet before they leave the house.
Double Clutching is quite literally syncing the 2 shafts without having to use the synchro to do it. When you double clutch your synchros do
almost no work.
Edit: that civicforum link is specifically asking about the clutch/engine. Double clutching means you are pressing on the clutch pedal more often but usually when a double clutch is performed so is a rev match. No extra wear or stress occurs on the engine (probably less due to rev match) and the clutch is doing a negligible amount of extra work. The only thing that's actually getting more use is the throwout bearing. Reading that thread cost me 2 IQ points. I feel dumber after reading it.
