RAW mentioned double clutching and I should have as well. It is a technique used with "crash boxes". It simply means the clutch is momentarily engaged as the shifter passes through neutral on its way to the next higher gear. There is no advantage to double clutching on a down shift. Non-synchro trannies are easier to down shift because the throttle setting can remain high. The shift is made when the travel speed is correct. As you can probably tell, shifting this old machinery takes some experience. The best mechanical sound in the world is a flawlessly down shifted 13 sp two-stroke Detroit Diesel. Very difficult to do when the split shift comes up.
