WHAT DOES DOUBLE-CLUTCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Double clutch

Double clutching is a method of shifting gears used primarily for vehicles with an unsynchronized manual transmission, such as commercial trucks and specialty vehicles. Double clutching is not necessary in a vehicle that has a synchronized manual transmission. With this method, instead of pushing the clutch in once and shifting directly to another gear, the driver first engages the transmission in neutral before shifting to the next gear. The clutch is pressed and released with each change.
