In this video I explain and demonstrate how to double clutch when changing gears, which is also known as double de-clutching. I also explain why you may need to double clutch and why you don't need to in modern cars. I demonstrate it slowly to allow you to see exactly what needs to be done then I demonstrate it at a normal speed so you can see how fast you will get with experience.

@averyalexander2303 2 года назад

Great demonstration as always! Double clutching can also help prevent the synchros from wearing out when the vehicle is driven aggressively such as frequent quick high RPM shifts. In my experience, double clutching helps the transmission go into gear much more smoothly when the synchros have to work against a large speed differential such as when shifting from 1st to 2nd at or near redline or shifting to 1st while rolling. Instead of the transmission feeling like it's resisting for a second as the synchros do their work, it just slides right in if double clutched properly since the gear speeds should already be very close to synchronized. Definitely a useful skill to have! Just because you don't "need" to do something doesn't mean there are never benefits to doing it or at least learning the skill.

@rynechristesen2392 2 года назад

@johno9507 3 года назад

In my 30+ years of driving manual cars I've never had to double clutch once, even in my old 70's cars, but Rev matching/heel n tow down shifts is extremely important for a number of reasons. #1 It wears the clutch less. I've had cars with over 200,000km on the same clutch even with regular hard driving. One guy I knew would only ever get around 30,000kms out of his clutch. And slipping the clutch on a down shifts sounds absolutely terrible! #2 Rev matching down shifts stops the sudden weight transfer in the driving wheels and will stop wheel lock up, especially in the wet. And it's sounds cool blipping the throttle as you downshift into a corner... especially with a noisy V8. 😀

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

I too enjoy rev matching. Double clutching is a very old art.

@p_mouse8676 2 года назад

I think this whole double clutching is a US/English thing? People here only drive manual, it's being taught that way with your driving lessons (mandatory). Personally I sometimes don't even a clutch at all, although that takes a lot of feel and know at what RPM you have to do that.

@user-sf1gl2rc1b 2 года назад

Rev matching with your throttle saves the clutch, that's all u need to know

@AltruisticWarrior 2 года назад

Same here OP. I have some muscle delays do things like double clutching can be dicey. I have a 2012 VW Jetta 2.0 5 speed. Has over 200k miles on the original clutch, syncros etc. A mechanic that did a brake flush recently said the clutch was still pretty stiff and seems great for the amount of miles. It's not all highway miles either. In fact I'd commute roughly 90 miles a day in rush hour traffic then work another 4~8 hours delivering pizzas in city conditions and usually left the car running the whole time. Could be my driving and maintenance or maybe it's just a stupid reliable car. 🤔 Actually blows my mind because this car is so gutless that it's nearly impossible not to slip the clutch a bit sometimes when starting in first with the AC off or especially the same but on a hill as this car lightly holds the brakes in such a situation to keep the car from rolling backwards. Not a bad car for a first time learner.

@jordantowner-broughton229 2 года назад

Hi there mate. Just another application for double clutching. Any aspiring truck drivers like myself that are thinking of getting an unrestricted licence, double clutching is something you'll need to learn. Specifically for the Eaton fuller 13-18 speed roadranger gear boxes. Even though you demonstrate it in a car it really helped me understand the rev matching and coordination to get it right, cheers mate! It's a little more delayed though in a road ranger as there's a 2 second pause. Eg clutch to neutral .... Clutch to gear. Compared to a car where it's a lot quicker. Another thing is you never fully engage the clutch on a heavy vehicle as all heavy vehicles have a clutch brake. As air brakes and foot brakes aren't always enough to safely stop a heavy vehicle. The clutch input and bite point is about half way down every time you engage the clutch.

@pp-si2dm 3 года назад

Great video and like you say unless you have a very old car, you won’t really need to double clutch. What I find far more useful, and you already have a video on this, is blipping the throttle on the down change to match engine speed with the lower gear. This technique is only taught at advanced level (such as advanced driving test). However, it is a very useful tool and creates smooth driving, less jerky down changes and more efficient driving. It DOES takes quite a bit practice though and you should not blip with changing down to 1st gear. This technique also works very well on geared motorcycles 🏍 too.

@angrysocialjusticewarrior 3 года назад

I was a terrible student at a driving school, and I was the only student who did not come from a family of truck owners or truck employees. in fact, driving school was the first time in my life I had ever been on the inside of any truck at all (I didn't even know how to start a truck). When the day of the actual driving test came, I was one of only two students who passed the test that day. So if someone like me who had never even seen the inside of a truck before going to driving school can get a truck license on the first attempt, then you can do it too. At least in your case its a dump truck and not an articulated truck, so you don't have to worry about jack-knifing a large trailer while reversing around a corner.

First, thank you for your videos on manual driving... they are fantastic. I recently received a car with manual transmission and while I knew the basics I wanted to know more of the nuances about driving one and your videos are perfect for that. Secondly, a question... why do you blip the throttle when down shift double clutching if that blip doesn't serve as a rev match?

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

It serves as a rev match for the gears, another blip to rev match the clutch can help but is not necessary as the clutch can rev match itself if you pause at the bite point for a moment. Modern gearboxes have synchros which rev match the gears automatically which is why you don't need to double de clutch in a car that's under 50 years old. Synchros became the norm in the 1970s.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and for probably making a massive generalisation!), but I take it that the whole thing of double clutching is one of the reasons you need to be a "better" (i.e. more skilled) driver to properly drive a classic car. I would argue this is probably why there are so many terrible drivers around because they can afford to be lazy in newer cars. Anyway, I've started going to a lot of classic car shows recently and decided that I fancy getting one at some point which brought me here. I had a vague Idea of the mechanics, but needed an explanation of this double clutching business in preparation and this was just the video. Keep up the good work!

To put on neutral clutch isn't really necessary as the "difficult" part for the gearbox is when engaging. It is possible to engage a gear without grinding, but the RPM need to be near perfect, this is easier to do on a motorcycle to more sensibility on the throttle and a more "tolerable" gear ratio

Hello! I really like your videos, especially when I'm teaching my fiancée how to drive now, and I tend to explain advanced topics in a concise way. This is an old video, but I hope you'll answer me (or someone who has knowledge). These are theoretical considerations on the construction of the gearbox. 1. Shouldn't a very quick gear change leave the shaft at the same speed as the engine and allow you to change gear straight away? 2. Wouldn't engaging a gear without the clutch, then pressing the clutch and shifting into the next gear work in the same way as a double clutch?

I've been recently watching Casey Putch videos on driving tips. And its interesting that you've done a video on double clutching. I'm also learning how to heel toe, but only because the clutch is kind of worn and it dies if I don't give it revs, so I need to keep my foot on top of the break while giving a bit of revs to catch the biting point without stalling.

@tani4925 2 года назад

So I got a 2019 Civic, do I need to or is it recommended to double clutch? I just press the clutch once between gears. I notice some of my gears are little rough when switching. They go in easy, but other times they feel rough. Like I’m in 3rd, I make right turn uphill, I switch to neutral for the turn, then shift to 2nd to go up and almost always, shifting to 2nd it feels rough to put it in gear.

I'm thinking about buying a 60s fiat 500 and I;m here because I was told you need to double clutch when you drive them!

@ancobastiaan9699 2 года назад

@@thefantasyreview8709 Great! I hope you find one and will master the double clutching. The old 500's are a rare sight on the road, but many people recognise it and even when they don't they love the shape and you'll get many smiles and waves during drives

what do you think about the stop / start function with the system off drive the car better? that's what I think Keep up the good information .

I know this is an old video by now, but still, what does a worn synchro feel like? Based on what he's saying it sounds like I may have driven one. The last learner vehicle I was in used to have a sticky first gear at first, but would become smoother once the vehicle was driven around for a bit. Is that it?

@jeff9846 3 года назад

if you double clutch downshift, the whole point is that you don't have to bring your clutch up slowly for the second time (you don't need to rev match as you've already blipped the gas) therefore its faster than just regular rev matching and means that you'd accelerate faster of you wanted to overtake someone on the motorway.

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

The first blip is to get it into gear, by the time you've lifted the clutch after engaging the gear the revs would have dropped, a second blip will solve that problem. Double clutching in a modern car is slower, I'd be willing to put that to the test.

@rolandjager2992 8 месяцев назад

when you go up a gear, why do you release the clutch after going to neutral and don't put it directly into the next gear ?

Hi can someone explain why u need to double clutch when upshifting? I understand double clutch when downshifting but is normal clutch for upshifting enough?

@kieranmz4614 3 года назад

I watched this this video a couple of months ago now and I thought it was very helpful. A 3rd scenario I can think of is putting into first gear whilst still rolling (maybe 7mph). I recently had to use this in my driving test a couple of times on a hill (and passed!). Do you reckon it's just me and my slightly worn synchros or would that be another universal advantage of double clutching?

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

Yes it will help with first gear as a lot of cars struggle to select first when moving due to the high ratio the synchro has to contend with. I would prefer 2nd gear at 7mph unless I was staying very slow.

@kieranmz4614 3 года назад

@@ConquerDriving Yeah I guess it's only in slow moving traffic or on steep hills were you may have to use first, otherwise just slip the clutch.

@anthonyjohn3446 3 года назад

Interesting... Usually when I going up a gear, I press the clutch, apply a little throttle and lift up the clutch slowly to avoid jerking. But I would like to try the double-clutch method, seems to be fun.. 😊

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

It is more work with no benefit in a modern car.

@anthonyjohn3446 3 года назад

@@ConquerDriving yes, because they have synchroniser..

@alloneword7427 3 года назад

@@anthonyjohn3446 I thought double clutching helped preserve the integrity of the synchronisers in a modern car? In a modern car, I would double clutch when skipping gears, so going from 6th to 4th for example as it helps match the revs between the change. I think. Oh I don't know anymore 🥴

My dad drove troop carriers in the second world war and he told me about double declutching as he called it. As a 13 year old, I would help him on his milk round on Saturdays. He would sometimes demonstrate this manoeuvre and allow me to change gear using the gear stick as he double clutched.

@enoruel 5 месяцев назад

I hope Richard or anyone else can help answer the following question: my car has a very hard to engage first gear and a very high min speed in second. This makes it very hard to drive around town because if you want to go from second to first you basically have to stop. However today i randomly tried double clutching WITHOUT a rev match and first gear was a lot easier to engage. Why would this work without the rev match? It doesnt make sense to me

New stage 3 clutch (DKM twin disc). Since it was installed, i keep grinding 3rd and 4th when I get on it. Is this a reason to double clutch? Been driving manual for nearly 20 yrs, so it's CRAZY hard to change the habit. Edit: no problems with downshifting

@noahsmum5041 3 года назад

I always put full clutch down & holding it until I put it in to neutral , then I moved to different gear ⚙️ , Can you please tell me if I am going this is wrong/ not I am happy for you to correct me please when I am incorrect.. Thank you so much !

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

You're correct, double clutching is not necessary. I made this video from popular request.

@Adam_Lyskawa 8 месяцев назад

I wonder why do you recommend releasing the clutch carefully when downshifting. When I downshift to like 2nd, or IDK, I just drive aggressively - I do that. But in the normal street traffic - if you revs are roughly matched and you're changing to 3rd or higher - you can probably just release the clutch as fast as you want without the car jerking. However, I wouldn't do that on ice or snow, I'm extra careful in "the world without friction" ;) I tested fast clutch release on the 3rd on the snow today (empty road, safe conditions) and it was fine. No jerking, no slide. But first 2 gears - definitely, clutch too fast and it jerks. It's sometimes even happens on 3rd with high revs. It would probably happen even on higher gears if the revs was high enough. But since I drive diesel - I hardly ever use high revs. My particular car doesn't love high revs, it accelerates the best between 2 and 3k.
