Well, IMO dbl clutching every downshift is one of the pleasures of driving a stick
Subaru owners, tell me all about them

Absolutely Accumulator! I ALWAYS double clutch when driving a standard. Now-a-days though, 9 out of 10 drivers you talk to don't know what double clutching is (much less heel and toe
). With my Sube, you better know how to double clutch because the synchros (especially 2nd-1st) just aren't up to the task!Accumulator

Superstring brought up another good point: how do you Subie owners find the pedals with regard to heel-and-toe work? My Outback was OK but they were a bit far apart and IIRC the height difference was a little much too...it was doable but not really swell and I never got around to changing anything to make it better.
Are today's Subaru pedals OK for heel-and-toe? That'd be a deal-breaker for me.

Accumulator, I had to do some work on mine to facilitate heel & toe. The brake pedal was far too low, so I made some aluminum spacers and added an OMP accessory pedal on top. I also changed the accelerator pedal, although I'm not sure that was necessary. Here's a pic of my setup and I know, I know, I'm sorry the floor isn't clean!!

superstring- That looks good. And I'd rather you spend time getting the pedals right than sweeping up the interior
