Thanks,
I haven't needed to double clutch any modern manual trans that has synchros. I have done this on "stubborn" gears, but that only has happened a handful of times when the trans is cold.
Synchros are there so that you don't have to double clutch.
Plus, double clutching only slows you down when it isn't necessary.
There is nothing incorrect about not double clutching.
The synchros on this trans are pretty robust as well.

Heel and toe is one thing and it's a great technique to know and use.
I have no idea why anyone would double clutch this MT, unless you've learned and developed this habit. But that still doesn't make it a necessity.
