Re: Double clutching -- Some advice if you please

["Ian Overholt" <ioverholt@hotmail.com>]

Actually, Owen you are describing "Heel and toeing".  Double clutching is 
very similar although a little easier since no brake pedal is involved.  
Double clutching means you release the clutch while in neutral.  Double 
clutching is usually used on upshifts with unsynchronized transmissions.
