 Yes, I could double clutch every gear up and down shifting because all the=
 synchros in the transmission are out of spec aftermarket.=C2=A0 I'm luck t=
hey work somewhat in the other gears.=C2=A0 In this case I HAVE to double c=
lutch at least both ways into 3rd.=C2=A0 This means no one else can drive t=
he car unless they know how to double clutch.=C2=A0 Of course double clutch=
ing makes your synchros last a lot longer.=C2=A0 The transmission was desig=
ned with synchros so you would not have to do this.=C2=A0 Until I rebuild t=
his transmission or replace it, double clutch it is.Mike MacLean
