Message	though I never leave it in gear at a light any more because I heard you can weaken a clutch part (the spring plate? The pivot ball?) that way. I just put it in neutral when I'm waiting at the light. As far as double-clutching, Farkel, do you really mean double-clutching, or are you referring to rev-matching? I rev-match every time I downshift; makes for a smoother shift. Our transmissions have synchronizers, so we don't really have to double-clutch when upshifting. It used to be necessary back when vehicles didn't have syncromesh manual trannies. Some quick info on double-clutching "I was previously a aviation mechanic and avionic technician and this car is harder to work on than Aircraft." - Hocuz77 03:04:56 02/28/06
