Double clutching means you must press the clutch down twice. Means the clutch must adhere to the flywheel twice and have the material wear TWICE. Same goes for the throwout bearing and pressure plate. It is less wear on the Syncros than it is on those items. It is recommended and definitely not worth doing Double Clutching. Stop posting mis-information.

Not saying I know what the "correct" way is, but my father, who did a fair bit of racing in his day, always taught me the double-clutching method, so +1 for double-clutching FTW. (then again, that was in the 60's and 70's...)

If you're just driving normally and not slamming the shifter from gate to gate...(I think that's the equivalent to popping your clutch at every shift, thought I'm not sure exactly how the Z syncros is set up). I think you'll be alright...give the syncros some time to do its job!
I saw this video of a forum member blowing out this transmission during some drag race. Then again, he was going FAST....and...he had his hand on the shifter ready to shift, and he'd literally SLAM it from gear to gear like he was swinging a tennis racket. but man! he was going fast! twin turbo too i think

You guys are crazy. Spoolin is just telling us how to shift with as little wear on your transmission as possible. He is by NO MEANS saying that his way is the right way and only way to shift.
I do double clutch on my downshifts. It's really not necessary, but it's a challenge and it's fun. And really there's no harm in doing so.
