    That's an old wives tale. You miss a shift, you correct and keep going. Can you say "truck driving fool?"

    I went to the website and looked at that thing today...It's a pretty stupid thing if you ask me...It's just a more difficult way to operate an otherwise simple and efficiently designed transmission.

    Looks like a toy for fools!
