Double the clutch?

[tomvcarter]

Do people still double the cluth?
I have an e92 and was told i should learn how to, whats the advantage? And is it necessary in modern cars?

[daz05]

I do when the oil is cold but not absolutely necessary.

[Frik]

Do you mean double declutching?

No need to do it on a modern car unless your synchromesh is on the way out.

[MarkM3Evoplus]

I do, out of habit, just makes things smoother & easier on transmission.

[AliV6]

As above, only when cars cold!

What they probably meant was that you should have bought the excellent double clutch 'box instead of a manual
