I learned it 20yrs ago and now I cannot stop doing it even if I tried. In fact, i finally got myself to stop double-clutching every downshift recently. It was a habit ingrained from of a year of driving a synchro-less dog box in my WRX.

Sounds a bit like my AT in manual mode. Don't get me wrong, I love a stick, but drive a stick or buy an AT. BTW, the sequel will be MT, if they are still around.
