Not necessary, but not really pointless; saves the synchros, if that happens to be a concern (the double clutching process
is a synchronizing process - you
must do it to shift a crash box - except, see below) and with some trannies is quicker than forcing the synchros, which ain't good for the synchros).
Or, if you want to save the synchros
and the clutch, shift without using the clutch (up and down the gears) - do it right and it's smooth as butter (
can be quick too), do it wrong and blow the tranny
. Of course you
do have to use the clutch starting from a dead stop.
