ironic that it's coming from a sworn devoted atx driver (so forgive me), but...

double clutching is this:

instead of depressing the clutch, moving the shifter into the next gear, and then releasing the clutch.

you should:

depress the clutch, shift into neutral, rev the engine till you hit the rpm band for that gear at that speed, shift into the next gear, release the clutch.

this saves on the snycros for the car, because you are more rmp matched for the gears. this is also why when your syncros are nearing the "SHOT" phase of life, you can still drive your car, if you're talented.
