the car has an upgraded drivetrain, don't expect you bone stock car to be able to do the same thing.

It is necessary. If you don't do it then you lock your wheel. If you downshift normally then the wheels have to rev up the motor. In normal conditions that is not a problem but when you are driving on the edge of grip it is. So that it is only used by racing drivers. When you have semi automatic gearbox the the electronics will do it for you. They call it the blipper. It will spool up the engine a bit between gears (downshifts).

it is an sti look at the dash and pedal set its an 2003 they changed the tachometer to the middle in 2004

@ALT326 Yes, but that is regarding the heel and toe, not the double declutch. Double declutching, that is, clutch, put in neutral, declutch, accel, clutch, put in lower gear, and declutch, is only necessary on cars without sync meshes.

1.00 fucking combo ! :D H&T and Double clutch :D

@N41MUN94 For normally heel-toe hold the clutch until finish downshift. But in this clip Gary Sheehan do double clutching heel-toe. In real car (wtith H shift SYNCHROMESH GEARS) it's hard to downshift 5th to 2nd because it's exceed synchro limit ,so you can't engage to 2nd. Double clutching is only way to do that. Depress clutch at first shift lever from 5th to N and release clutch. Then blip gas to match engine-wheel speed. Depress clutch again and shift N to 2nd and then release clutch.

i do this too, only i have to call it toe-toe, since my steering wheel is too big and i cant lift it lolz, time for a smaller one :P basicly i brake with my left side of my shoe and gas with the right side of my shoe. its so dumb im used to it, now when i dont want to "toe-toe" it feels like im stomping instead of braking

[DanPrinMan]

Yeah I can't do it that fast, going from what was it 4th, to 3rd and to 2nd? At least I'm not that consistent.

@MeestaNoName

i recently watched some videos of the "rally master" (forgot his name already) and his foot work was pretty clear to me that his was double clutching while up shifting as well.. i really cant imagine its worth the extra 1/2 second to take the time to do that over a little wear on the syncros. the video was filmed in the late 80's so the tranny certainly had them.. im not saying hes wrong, im just curious as to why

@ultimateracer28

necessary... no. But it does help a lot when skipping gears (like 4th to 2nd). Gives smoother shifts and saves your syncros.
