    i know that some big trucks (ie. older 18 wheelers etc) dont have syncros so they had to double clutch. this isnt a 'cool racing trick' its a term that sounded 'good' in that movie. not for many of us and def not if you are racing.

    all semi trucks you have to double clutch if you use the clutch. or you can just float the gears which is where you dont use the clutch at all. you can float in any car with a manual tranny. i do it in mine alot. some semi trucks are starting to use a automatic style tranny. you still have a clutch pedal but only use it when you stop. the computer engages the clutch when it shifts for you. if only cars had this.
