but why put up with worn synchros? LOL
Double clutching was done up and down in old non synchroed transmissions. I had a '64 Sprite- non synchroed 1st gear.
Don't use it (double clutch) in modern cars or even the Formula Ford I had with a Hewland gearbox.
If you can find the old Skip Barber GOING FASTER VHS/DVD it has a good sequence on double clutching.
