[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 341730, member: 1957"] Interesting you say that. One of our new feeder drivers was taking his road test recently. The examiner said," They(the company) teach you to double clutch don't they.". The new guy said, "Yes". The examiner said, "You don't have to double clutch". All our mechanics say it is hard on the clutch (as well as the left knee) to double clutch. A feeder supe told me, in confidence, that students are taught to double clutch because it gives them something to do while waiting for the RPM"s to drop. Double clutching the feeders is one of the antiquated "methods" the company continues to embrace even though it is not needed. Down shifting might come in handy if your brakes fade plus it puts you at a correct speed to negoiate a turn. Do I always downshift? No. [/QUOTE]
