Message	Double-clutching is the proper way to downshift at speed without placing excessive wear on the transmission's synchronizers. This allows you to select a much lower gear without the tell-tale lurch you normally get when the clutch is let out after downshifting. how: engage clutch, shift to neutral, drop clutch, rev engine, engage clutch, select gear, drop clutch. When racing, (not 1/4 mile), it allows you to enter and (more importantly) exit turns at greater speeds. Get the hang of double clutching and then add heel-toe braking to it to really get some fast laps. With practice, you should be able to threshold brake and downshift in one smooth motion. This is why you want to be wearing racing shoes..not those clunky Skechers... At least that is how it was when I was driving F1...before paddle shifters... cheers, J
