does anybody here double clutch when they shift? i have been told by many people that it is better for your gear box and was just wondering who out there is really doing it? i have tried it but it seems to take too much time and effort especially when I am trying to merge or accelerate

its when instead of pressing the clutch and putting it into the next gear, you press the clutch, put it in neutral, let go of clutch, press clutch again, then move to the new gear. some people can do it in like a fraction of a second but i cant get it down really

Unless your driving a big truck like a 5 ton with standard shift, double clutching is not necessary. The gear boxes in cars and light trucks are made to withstand shifting gears with a single clutch depression.
Take care Emendblu.
