Hi,

I thought double-clutching was what Mithy does.

You don't need to do it one a modern synchro box in your car though and I can't see how it would benefit your performance in doing so.

However, I do double-clutch occasionally when changing down to 3rd gear 'cos my gearbox is a bit worn on the 3rd gear C-band (doesn't have synchros in my box).

I've discovered, when changing down gears, especially on an old and somehwat tired gearbox (that you can't get parts for anymore) that it is cheaper to use the brakes. Brake pads are easier to get and quicker to change and much much cheaper than gearbox parts.

good point.. let the brakes do their job
