Hi David Stepney.
Has your car got the RN pre synchro gearbox? When my RP was fitted with the early synchro box I never double declutched for 1st to 2nd but the delay in nuetral varied depending on how hot the oil. On constant mesh or synchro boxes with failed synchro the quick change technique is unlikely to be harmful as all the constant mesh teeth engage at once so there is little risk of burring and chipping.
