You do NOT need to double clutch. Did your grandpa tech you to drive stick?

You dont need to double clutch AT ALL. just shifting slower will reduce wear on the synchros.

Not only do I not need to double clutch, but I can shift 1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2 all without even using the clutch.

For all of those giving advice that tell people to double clutch a modern car:
Master shifiting with no clutch, get over 30 years driving stick then you may give advice.
