Double-Clutching

[differ]

did a few rounds on LDP 3rd to 4th upshift and 4th to 3rd downshift... when i get the revs right, the feeling is really nice... the car shifts with absolutely no lurching at all, it's like constant accelaration...

maybe 1 out of 7 times only made a perfect shift, also takes longer than normal... maybe about 2 secs?

does anybody still practice this even with synchro g/b?

 

[ninja_iga]

yep

but.... i still like the clutch. It times my shifts..

 

[lozo]

i do ..

once get to know the engine's rev on lower gear...voila! clean and fast downshift

 

[cyclonite]

yeah I'm doing that too, reason being to practice synchronising my revs better and to protect my clutch coz it's wearing off already.

what car you driving? I think if your car has lightened flywheel it'll be easier to do coz your engine response will be faster, you can rev up faster and kick the gear in.

 

[differ]

yup, 4G93T with lightened flywheel. i can blip it to about 3000rpm most of the time with a light but firm touch.

any other tips to perfecting this?

wanna master this than move on to heel/toe driving later...

but... clutchless shifting... now that's an art! :blink:

 

[awsyeow]

noobie quest ....
do u do double clutchin only when u downshift?

 

[awsyeow]

i mean for downshift onli isit

 

[bigboystoys]

clutchless shifts helps you shift faster.. and it'll feel like a sequential shifter in place of your H-gate shifter......

however... downside being... it damages your synchromesh if you don't match the revs properly... which most of us wont be able to match it ...


:)

 

[differ]

hehe yeah, that's why those who pull it off..... gods!

was reading how these immortal drivers perform clutchless shifting with ease, left-braking, right-throttling, maximum power, maximum control...

B)


awsyeow: you can double-clutch for both up and downshifts.

i thought double clutch is :

when wan to shift, press clutch
then put the gear in neutral, release clutch, rev a bit, let the gearbox spin
then only press clutch again, then engage to gear u want ...



i thought only neede with those old old buses n lorry.. where without double clutch u cant get the shift in..

 

[synail]

you can use the technique for any car/bus/lorry

cars these days are fitted with synchromesh which save you all the trouble to engage a gear... if your synchromesh is worn out, you may find yourself having trouble to engage a gear, double-clutching can help in this case then...

[gibod_78]

hmm.. with full 3 pluck racing clutch, this method is a bit difficult... coz the clutch is damn heavy.. need a strong left leg..

 

[thteh86]

very confusing...a while a while clutchless shift, a while a while heel and toe.

which one is double-clutching? sifus sifus teach me pls

 

[awsyeow]

actually i m oso confused now.....

this topic is about clutchless shifting or double clutching....

differ bro ... thans for the info

 

[lestat]

If you're using clutch to double clutch the shift, why call it clutchless shifting? confused too.. I think heel and toe should be very useful esp driving round corners

 

[lozo]

clutchless shift = dog box ?

 

[vestax]

been using this method , but then i really have slow shift time , rather then slamming the gears in . and i notice when i do double clutching , other car's are going much faster then me :lol:

why got clutchless shift & heel toe in here , so confusing la :lol: :rolleyes:

 

[alantan]

heel and toe is nice..hahaha..

 

[thteh86]

heel and toe is to actually make u brake and accelerate fast, instead of jerking...
