Double Clutch vs Synchro wear

[Concorazon]

Would double clutching effectively reduce wear and tear on synchro?

Yes. But chances are the times you mess up trying to double clutch, would probably be worse than shifting regularly.
Let me guess... it is your first manual transmission car?

just make sure you're not granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should

Here we go again .......

I just wished that the new, MT drivers, would quit listening to their drunk uncles, about how to shift a MT on modern cars……

On modern transmissions, I would say that double clutching will not significantly reduce wear and tear on the synchronizers, not in your average car’s lifetime.

Yes, if your vehicle was old and/or had 18 wheels, yes, double clutching would be beneficial.


Simplify your life …. just shift the damn car.......

Damn... You beat me to it. OP I know where you're coming from but with modern transmissions I wouldn't worry about double clutching. Hell, when you get really good, you can no clutch shift

clutch less shifting ftw

Contrary to popular opinion on here these cars are not fragile little flowers.
Drive it and don't worry about whether it will last 10 years or 10 years and 4 hours.

Experiment, do whatever makes the car happy.

I double clutch many of my downshifts on the street now (didn't during the first ~2 years of ownership), under 3k rpm but not when I'm at the track blipping the throttle to 7k. Seems backwards innit? But every car is different.

I've ground gears, forced the lever into place and put it in the wrong gear, but never done any damage. 43k miles and I think it operates better than it did on day 1. It's not a delicate flower as long as you're at least trying to operate properly.
