Is double clutching in a race ok

[mn_cb7_boi]

ive tried it before at it seems to jump a little is that power are just me tearing something up so who came up with the idea of double clutching is it just a urban legend

urban legend no its real it really dose work you just need to kno how to use it lol just to tell your are cb7s 3rd gears are weak use 2X clutch only in high RPMs when its almost at redline thats when it works the best, what it dose is jumps your RPMs higher than its sopose to go so if you floor it and it gets to 5.7k and starts slowing down 2X it and it will jump your RPMs higher and faster but know your car when doing it it could put you in the lead or put you in the ditch

If i was you i would'nt double clutch. No use in risking looking like an idiot and having to get a new clutch. It's not that hard to learn to drive a stick it just takes practice!

yeah i see what u all are saying about take my time. just want to go out and destroy these guys cars. trying to find out ways to gain the advantage on those pesky light weight crxs. So maybe i will go out and practice some more. thanks for the help and maybe my next tread u guys want rip me a new a whole

what type of accord do u have?

[tonystyle27]

i have a 1990 lx and the powerplant im going for is the f22b dohc with h23 tranny i heard its a pretty good setup to beat my friends in there crx's

Ahh. So YOU don't know what double clutching is, either.
Fail.

Doing what he said=bad.
Double clutching=not bad, but not necessary on your car.

How many people in this thread actually know what double clutching involves? You can't give advice about something if you don't know what it means.

You'll never need to double clutch in a drag race. Double-clutch downshifting in a road race scenario can be beneficial, even in modern synchronizer equipped vehicles... but only if you're good at it. It's not necessary.


mn_cb7_boi, I can't really even understood what you said... but I'm pretty sure it's completely incorrect.

You must be referring to the heel and toe technique I assume. If so yes it slows down the car and keeps the RPM's higher for a matched downshift, am I right?? But that would be useless in a drag race anyways.

[93F22A6]

Why dont you just go with an h22? Might be a lil more in cost but prob worth it.

sorry a lil off topic

[foamypirate]

You ONLY double-clutch when decelerating.

Heel toe is one way of doing it... but it can be done for a seamless downshift without the brake as well.

I, for one, suck at heel-toe.

I've never even attempted to do it. I'm sure I'll suck.

[Sobeman81]

aren't the pedals adjusted better for accomplishing the heel toe technique?? Plus having smaller feet helps, but doesn't that mean you have a small .......?

[Sobeman81]

plus isn't double shifting used in semis?? or not anymore?? i know they used to use it before, my dad used to drive em back home.

Heal-toe FTW. Takes a lot of practice to get good at it. Fun to play around with.
