Rev matching may be a great thing but it's not the end of all shifting techniques. If you like doing it than please continue to do so but don't tell people they have to or their tranny is going to explode 
Use common sense people and you will be fine. Don't overthink driving a stick. It will come to you. |
I'm curious to know where you found this information about double clutching is a must. No where in 5 pages have I seen that. I may be blind. However, I did read that double clutching makes for a smoother ride.
