Let's break down the OP's post because I think a lot of people are misunderstanding him:

OP was practicing the "double-clutch" method of shifting. Because this post is NOT explaining that practice, he advises a google search to all who don't know what this technique is.

After double-clutching, the OP decided to try to shift without the clutch.

4. now without depressing the clutch push the gear lever to 4th gear.
5. Viola! The syncro-rev blips the throttle and the lever falls into 4th without needing to clutch in!
OP provides instructions on how to shift without the clutch. OP DOES NOT say the above instructions are instructions on how to double-clutch.




So, if you read his post again, it's pretty clear that he knows the difference between a double-clutch shift and a clutchless shift.
