	Pease Porridge - What's All This Double-Clutching Stuff, Anyhow? (08/05/93)
		The main point is that when you try to shift into third gear, the engine has slowed itself and the clutch plate down to the right speed--just about the same speed as the gearbox--so it saves wear on the synchronizers and the clutch.
		When you're ready to shift into third, you decide not to use the standard approach, which is just to tromp on the clutch, take your foot off the gas, shove the shift lever into third, and let the clutch back out.
		And when you shove the lever into third, the gears and engine are at a synchronized speed, so there's minimum wear on the synchronizers, which are the tiny clutches that bring the clutch plate and the gears into smooth synchrony.

	Penn: Office of University Communications: Clutch Hitters and Choke Hitters: Myth or Reality?
		Anytime you hear sports announcers, they're always talking about who is a clutch hitter and who is a choke hitter.
		A surprising finding in the study was that Bill Buckner, who has gone down in history as one of the game's worst "choke artists" for his Game 6 World Series error, was statistically proven to be a clutch hitter.
		The 21-year-old University of Pennsylvania junior studied the phenomenon of clutch hitting in baseball, and his calculations provided statistical evidence that players such as Eddie Murray, Frank Duffy and Luis Gomez were clutch hitters.

		Maybe it was a clutch hit from Sojo, a home run off the bench from Strawberry, or 98 RBIs from Brosius hitting at the bottom of the lineup, but there was no let up.
		Sure, the top of the 2004 Yanks lineup is deadly, but it peters out.

		Gardner Douglas are getting seriously involved in the Retro Sports racing series with a 500 BHP monster GD427, piloted by professional racing driver Heather McAlpine.
		One of these speeds is where Heather revs it right up as she see the red light on the grid, and as the green flashes on and she dumps the clutch, the deep roar of the Chevy can still be heard above the howling of Jag sixes and the raspy farting of four cylinder cars.
		The C‑Type Jags look and sound like the real thing, which is probably why the Retro Sports GT series is looking increasingly promising.

	Car and Driver - Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet - September 2004
		At first glance, the sports-car faithful will see the automatic Tiptronic transmission in a 911 Turbo cabriolet as an affront to their belief in the sanctity of the clutch pedal.
		Well, consider this one to be the reformer sports car, unwilling to accept the old doctrine that a fluid-coupling torque converter is a sinful device and three pedals are the only way to nirvana.
		Although we have never tested a 911 Turbo cabriolet with a manual transmission, it would likely not be much quicker than the automatic version.

	Mazda RX-7 1986
		A five-speed manual transmission was the only way to go with the Mazda, partly because a proper sports car will always have a clutch pedal and also because the manual gearbox was the best way to keep the peaky rotary engine on the boil.
		If 1986 was a turning point in the Australian car market with the introduction of unleaded petrol, the mid '80s also marked a philosophical change in Mazda's RX-7 sports car.
		Mazda was criticised for aping the overall proportions of the Porsche 944.

	Car and Driver - Nissan Xterra Off-Road 4WD - April 2005
		The Xterra was a sports locker on wheels, and Nissan held the combination.
		Our three-pedaled tester also featured a clutch-interlock-override button that makes daunting maneuvers less scary by alleviating the use of the clutch when starting the vehicle and performing first-gear crawls.
		And most important, the Xterra now features an all-aluminum DOHC 24-valve V-6 and a version of the brand's stout F-Alpha platform, which utilizes stronger, fully boxed frame rails, many of which are made from higher-strength and lighter-weight steel, a move made to offset the new Xterra's higher weight.

	The Manila Times Internet Edition SPORTS > Misfortune hounds Sy again as O’Hara wins
		Tyson Sy’s car stalled on the grid due to an overheated clutch and dashed anew his bid to post his first win, a painful setback that was somewhat tempered by fellow Filipino Dado Peña’s third place finish in round 7 of the nation-hopping series Sunday at the Sentul International Circuit here.
		When the green light was finally flashed, Sy’s clutch, overheated by the delay, acted up and his engine died, enabling Winslow, second on the grid, to zip past, followed by series leader Ananda Mikola of Indonesia, Australian Christian Jones of Christian Jones Motorsport, Peña and O’Hara who started sixth on the grid.
		Sy was well on the way to victory in the sixth race in Zhuhai in June until he figured in a mishap with Mikola late in the race.
