Yes, it is something that is a throwback to back-in-the-day. Syncronizers
have removed the need to learn to double clutch.
If you watch the old Steve McQueen movies, Bullitt in particular, he is
driving around in his Mustang beign chased by the bad guys, and he is double
clutching. The problem is, one would normally jab the gas pedal a lick on
the downshift, not on upshifts. Another problem is, the Mustang he is
driving came equipped with a fully syncronized manual transmission, and
there is no need to double clutch at all, shifting either up or down. Having
said that, one might want to jab at the gas pedal a lick on the downshift to
raise the engine speed so the motor and the rest of the drive train are all
going the same speed when the clutch is released, this little jab at the gas
makes the downshift smoother, but is not required by the mechanical stuff,
and does not require an extra cycle of the clutch pedal.

Re: Double Clutching?
Bitchen movie, and made before digital special effects was an
option. A Very pretty car:

the 2005 copied it:
http://media.ford.com/products/press...421&make_id=92
It's always a good Idea, to match the wieght of this 427" or 428"
crank against the driveshaft speed to lesson the whip lach effect, even
though the tramsmission is a Borg Warner rock cusher Super T-10:

Re: Double Clutching?
True on the matching speeds stuff. But on the upshift, one would want the
speed of the motor to drop relative to the previous gear, so one would not
be tapping the gas pedal between gears, and the fully synchronized
transmission would completely eliminate the need to double clutch. On the
downshift, on the other hand, a tap on the gas pedal between gears would be
a good idea, and double clutching is not needed.
