Thanks to everyone that has responded... Makes perfect sense and the "floating" i'm guessing is when I shift my pickup/car by rpm without using the clutch at all...
Probably a dumb question BUT.....

The stage after "old timer" is "OLD FART"......when you start to think about those fancy new automatics! And the joints are leading the discussion! -
because big trucks do NOT have synchronized transmissions. there is alot more pressure being used in there than in a f150. even double clutching in a reg car or truck will be better on it. less wear and tear. look at race car drivers. most of them double clutch. if you want to know more go to howstuffworks.com

if you are floating you cars gears im really surprised that your tranny dont sound like a sprinkler
-
floating might be the wrong term...shifting with the rpm to avoid using clutch is what i was refering too.. and nope no grinding of the gears and tranny sounds just fine. And of course its not a everytime thing either..just using that as a comparison
-
well i hope its not what this little punk is doing outside my house as im on home time. little #### is trying to float/blow up his tranny in his rice rocket. i guess hell go faster cause there will be less metal= less weight and less resistance lol

NASCAR drivers if I recall only use the clutch singlely and it's just to get into 4th gear. Then that's it. They don't shift again...even when pitting. At least that is how I was taught doing the RPDE. We just let out of the throttle when going into a turn and back in coming out. -
