Double Clutching?
 
I'm of the habit of double-clutching when driving any kind of truck,
especially when gearing down and am wondering if this is better/worse/no
difference when driving my '85 Jeep CJ7? Any opinions?

Hi Griffin,
LOL, it's a personal preference. I never used the clutch except to
put it in gear at a stop, mostly because the stuff I drove took two men
and a small boy to depress:

Re: Double Clutching?
 
I usually find I am double clutching when I am having 'fun' and riding
the gears for power and snap. My wife will catch it too and comment
about 'don't have too much fun now'....

The CJ7 Borg Warner World Class T-5 doesn't really seem to mind anyway.
It's shift is supposed to be more of a European 'feel' than the American
transmissions, hence the name.

What tranny are you running?

Unnecessary on a fully synch'd transmission. Keep in mind everytime you
engage and disengage a clutch you are causing wear.
