What is it,and what is the point of it?

 

Push clutch, out of gear into neutral.

Release clutch

Clutch in, next gear, clutch out.

It was for back in the day when transmissions didn't have synchro's

Don't watch anymore F&F.

Not at all recommenced in modern transmissions. It was used back in the day to align the gears inside the transmission when syncros were not present or sucked very badly. Double clutching can be done on upshifts if you really wanted.

 

I saw the video you tagged here,that's why I asked.I thought it was for downshifting for a high roll when racing.

 

False. Most professional truck drivers will not use the clutch unless starting off from a stop.

 

thats correct dwight shrute

 

No it's not.

Clutch is what you press when you come to a complete stop, or when your starting. Other than that, you don't touch it. You shift without it.

Then your dad is killing his leg and clutch for absolutely nothing.

Want me to give you the phone numbers of over 30 professional long-haul truck drivers so you can ask them yourself?

 

Sounds like your father is the idiot no offense. Working at a Kenworth dealer I think I know. Most transmission failures that come through our shop are from guys who use the clutch.

 

you can if you really want, usually you just push the clutch in, and blip the throttle while shifting to the desired gear to rev match, then clutch out.

 

Nope. Used to drive. Along with my old man. Ran everywhere from Alaska to Florida.

 

You know this guy just watched fast and the furious and heard "Not double clutching like you should" at the end of the first race haha

 

I think Toon'd06 heard that, and heard somewhere that trucks have manual transmissions, and put 2 + 3 together.

Hint: The answer is not 9

 

Dude I almost had you. lol.

Vin Diesels character used "double clutching" improperly. What he should have said was powershifting or "kicking the clutch". Thats basically just keeping your foot planted all the way on the gas, kicking the clutch to the floor and shifting as fast as you can. Its really really bad for your clutch and synchros.

 

Im a truck driver. I dont use clutch in my cobalt much either. Or when i had my motorcycles.

My clutches last for years in my cars.

 

hillbillies

 

lol
Hey dont insult hilbillies.

 

Exactly my point. The stock clutch in my 04 Vibe lasted 178,000KM, longer than the motor did

 

Double clutching is when you shift 7 times on a 5 speed trans.

 

come on now you know that eclipse had seven gears, two were for teh nas lol

 

lmao

 

Ain't needed on our cars. Just rev match downshift and you'll be find/

 

Not if you have an SS/TC haha

 

I just asked my dad who has been a truck driver for 30 years now and he said he doesn't use the clutch during upshifts and only certain times during downshifts when you can't afford to miss a gear.

 

im going to ask this, im waiting for the tounge lashing, whats rev matchin. ive only owned 2 manual cars and i didnt drive them much. always clutched to up shift and waited for the car to slow down before i clutched to a lower gear. or id go 1,2,3,5

 

rev matching is for downshifting, you blip the throttle so the rpms come up and it matches the rpm range for that gear at the current speed.
