I paid attention when I drove to lunch today and realized I double clutch 
every gear.  Odd habit from teenage years.  The friend that sold me my 
bugeye taught me about English cars in '69.  As I recall, he told me "The 
English trannys don't downshift for $hit since their synchro cones are made 
of butter".  He then taught me to double clutch and that was that. Wise 
fellow.
I've changed several clutches over the years, but never had to re-do a trans 
rebuild.   Hmmmmmm...?
