This isn't exactly about DeLoreans but I it falls in to that category of "not 
exactly correct". While most "big rigs" do not have synchronized 
transmissions, practically all race cars (circle track, roundy-round) have 
synchronized transmissions. Transmissions so well machined that they rarely 
need to use the clutch to easily shift gears.

Anyway to make a long story short, if the synchronizer is bad the 
transmission should be opened and repaired. There could be other damage or 
you might prevent further damage. Double clutching is simply a "band-aid" 
technique to use until you can get the transmission repaired.

My 2 cents,
