Then your gearbox was already broken-in. Mine is still getting its legs. Again, not once have I referred to it as a requirement. It's disingenuous to continue arguing otherwise.

See theres one thing that bugs me. you "double clutch" into 1st?
I was always taught to never downshift to 1st except at a complete stop.
So why would you need to double clutch at a stop?  |
I was taught both options at childhood. Are you telling me when traffic slows to a crawl you come to a complete stop, shift into first, and then continue? I prefer a quick blip, drop into first, and smoothly continue without impeding my fellow drivers' progress.

And that is in cars from 60s-90s and $3k to $250k

You know I'm not talking about the track. What's the point of bringing that up again? No one double-clutches on the track unless they've acquired one of Skip Barber's old cars.
Look, knowledge and skill are always a good thing. Let's just leave it at that.
