Sorry, but this doesn't make sense at all to me. How can it be
double clutching unless you engage the clutch twice? I accelerate during
the time in neutral when the clutch pedal is out. That's the way I learned
it, anyway.
Works on shifting from first to second in an old Land Rover with
only 3rd and 4th synchro, without the acceleration but a pause for the
gears to slow down to match the higher gear.
