Hello ryan,
for a double clutch downshift.....say... 4th to 3rd..
push in the clutch.. move the shift lever to neutral...
let out the clutch
blip the throttle... (rev the engine to make the engine
speed match the lower gear)
push in the clutch... move the shift lever to the lower
gear...
release the clutch...
to do the upshift... same process.. but don't rev the
engine,... just wait until the engine slows down... to the
new.. lower rpm...
this is why it is important to have the brake and gas
pedals properly arranged.. during downshifts, when one is
operating under braking, one should be able to roll the
foot onto the gas pedal and continue to brake, while
blipping the throttle... also known as
heel and toeing...
