There are 2 definitions... There is the real definition and the F&F definition.
the real one is mainly for use when your syncros are bad or non existent. You press the clutch to take it out of gear, and then release the clutch to let the input shaft spin the same as the motor and then press the clutch again to put it in another gear... you press the clutch twice between shifts..
Then the F&F one, is when you are already in gear and press the clutch to raise the revs and release. Supposedly its supposed to help you out, but if you ever race someone, you'll notice that as soon as you press the clutch, the other person will gain on you... The only time I actually do this, is during a roll race. LEts say on a 20mph roll, halfway between the second and third honk, I slam the acc, pop the clutch and release the release the clutch. This should put you in vtec and as far as I can tell, its the si's rolling sweet spot.
