Yeah I don't get why people always love to double clutch, or think it's so much better for the truck. 99.9% of light vehicles on the road today that are manual have synchronized gears (other than 1st of course) so there is no point. You're just wearing out parts faster. It's the same situation as people downshifting to help slow them down to save the brakes...so instead they put additional wear on the clutch. Which one do you think is cheaper/easier to change?
