Double-Clutch
Once you get good at this, then try heel-toe, don't bother now. This will improve your shifting speed and give you the basics that you need to know to make heel-toe down shifting easier.
The steps for double-clutching are actually quite easy... being good at it just comes with practice. Don't give up; nobody does it perfectly at first. You learn something about your car, about weight transfer and how that translates to a smoother and ultimately faster ride... on top of it, you don't rely on a fallible electronic component to do the work for you.  |
There is absolutely no reason to double clutch a modern car. This would only make your downshift slower and with unnecessary complication. Double clutching came from the pre-synchro transmission days when it was necessary to match input shaft and gear rotational speeds. About the only people you'll see doing this anymore is truck drivers. Simple clutch in rev match downshifts should be learned and then taken to heel toe technique.
