Especially with an MT-82...

It is satisfying in the way that mastering and executing any skill is. It is satisfying in that it is a skill that leads to a higher level of car control. It is satisfying in that it contributes to one more level of driving a car and having it do exactly what you want it to. Can you be satisfied driving a Mustang without it? Sure. But if you can develop skills that make you all the better of a performance driver, wouldn't you? If that makes sense to you, great. If you don't get that and all you think of are F&F references, well, that's on you...

Well said!

With an MT-82, the magic number should be ..., yes, right!

Mastering the art of double clutching and heel toe begins from home.

Watch Gary Sheehan performing double-clutch and heel-toe. Yes, he does double-clutch when heel-toeing (in this video).

Hey lethal I do have a question in regards to your s550 drag car, mind if I pm you? So I don't hijack this thread and get it off topic lol

For downshifting, this has just become 2nd nature. I do it all the time in every manual car and don't even think about it. Until seeing this thread, I forgot that there are people who don't do it. lol

I almost never do it on an upshift though. I don't really see a need for it and never did on previous cars either.

Now that I have a Mustang (V6), one interesting thing I have noticed is that my 4-3-2 down shifts are smoother than my 1-2-3 up shifts, which I think is b/c I always double clutch when down shifting. Makes me wonder if I should be doing double clutch when shifting up.

Gary Sheehan doesn't in the video you posted. Not necessary on up shifts.

Double clutching was for non synchro trans like in Semi's. 2nd note wears clutch out faster too especially damper springs/plate

Sure, agree.

The reason why I mentioned double clutch is b/c mustangs have noticeable rev hang that affects upshifts (esp. 1-2-3). Double clutch might be a cure.

I never notice any issue shifting even if there is "rev hang".
