How come in America, American Fries aren't just Fries? I very very seldom double clutch, only time is shifting down on a downhill slope where I want to use the engine braking. Otherwise, keep the engine idle low, wait between gears. Never grinds, clicks right in.

And I do not shift down to 2nd gear when going around most corners. (Someone asked earlier if you should downshift before or after the turn.) Unless traffic has slowed me down too much, I just chug around the corner and carry on after the turn in 3rd gear. These engines have great torque at low RPM, just don't lug it really hard. Gently chug ahead and gain speed back.

Re: Do YOU single-clutch ?
Its one of the nice things about hopping it up,it recovers from a lug condition quicker and smoother.You can pull it down lower too,feather it in 3rd at 10 mph,no problem.Raising effciency helps on both ends,power and torque,higher compression can be used to an advantage low or high speed.
