Also tell me why would you double clutch in a car with synchros? I was pretty sure it's useless?

Not at all. Syncros are just like a clutch, except much more expensive and tedious to replace.
Each time you shift, and not being properly rev-matched, your syncros are taking the brunt of getting everything matched up so you cogs aren't grinding.
You can get away without double clutching in normal conditions. But if you're doing let's say a 3rd gear to 1st downshift, you probably want to double clutch rev match.
