    Yes. Downshifting on a hill is one such circumstance. You'll have the weight of the load pushing against the driveline and you'll NEED to use the clutch just to get it out of the gear you're in.

    Um, no. :rolleyes:

    Some people simply prefer to do it the right way. I didn't float for years. That doesn't make anyone stupid.
