    Forget about double clutching. My Harley is 1 down 5 up there is no way you can hit neutral every shift. It has to be reved before down shifting every gear to keep from locking the rear tire. The old Tacoma (2000) had nice engine braking the 2010 has almost none.... I do miss that. The computer keeps the rpm's up between shifts.

    You can try letting the clutch out slowly on a down shift too. It can be bad for it over time, but it will give you a good feel of when it grabs and how the engine reacts at the current RPM. One thing I know, dont just let it all out fast, that will make it gray to soon if your in a hight RPM and you lurch.
