Just a quick note to say thanks to all on this one. I now officially have no problems driving stick!

But, feathering the the throttle mid change to keep the revs up certaily helped.

Cheers for all your help guys!

Everyone's got a slightly different driving style - I personally tend to stick the clutch in a small fraction of a second before I back off the throttle, which causes the revs to rise about 200-300rpm before I change gears.

My parents, on the other hand, take a LONG time between gears, in which case the revs drop substantially between gears. Either way, the 'box isn't crunching.

Neither of us crunch the gears - so I guess it's a matter of "whatever works" Glad you've figured it out.

Double-clutching is for cars with no syncro its from the dark ages, no need to do this on a modern vehicle
