What is Double Clutching For?

Double-clutching (also called double de-clutching in countries outside of the United States) is a method of shifting gears used primarily for vehicles with an unsynchronized manual transmission, such as commercial trucks and specialty vehicles. While double clutching is not necessary in a vehicle that has a synchronized manual transmission, the technique can be advantageous for smoothly downshifting in order to accelerate, and when done correctly it prevents wear on the “synchros” which normally equalize transmission input and output speeds to allow downshifting.
