- 2nd gear synchro is always the first to go out, because it gets the most use in traffic. And shifting down into a gear is harder on the synchro than shifting up because it has to accelerate the count

- Any suggestions on learning to double-clutch on the downshifts? I've had several people try to explain it to me - but I haven't quite figured it out. Any good info on the web? Leigh Brooks BADROC

- Once again, a thorough explanation! Man, it is nice to have you on the list. I'm going to practice right now. Thanks, Craig It's a bit more complex than that. Basically what happens is this (on a do

- Yeah, I didn't go into the details. But since a few people have asked, here's the longer version of double-clutching: 1. Put the clutch in and shift into neutral. 2. Let the clutch out and blip the t
