Can you explain double clutching? Is that popping it in N, letting off the clutch, then shifting?

That's it, and no today's synchro trans don't need it, but it gives the engine time to catch up with the next gear and road speed. This is a good way to get the feel, then you can just shift normally. No hurries between shifts.

I learned to drive a manual on a truck older than Tobii. It was a 1947 Chevy 3100 straight six with three on the column. Ran 62mph in second and 57 in third That was at the coast before farm kids needed permits and driver's licenses

I wish my car ran as smooth as that old truck.....
