trying to rush changing gear???? its a manual, right? which means the driver changes gear when he wants (irrespective of whether its too higher gear/too early for a change)

thats the most stupid reason ive ever heard!!! >:(

I don't think that is what they mean, rushing a gear change.... on a crap gearbox quickly changing gear can beat the syncro so potentially miss the gear or lots of cogs not fitting noises.....

Will the car go into gear with a double clutch ?

yes it will go into gear on double de-clutch but by which time you have lost momentum and run the risk of being rearended
