Hahaha
Passed one the other day that set up his triangles to direct traffic into his truck.
Anywho, the only problem I've dealt with floating is the rpm limiter on my company's trucks which makes it impossible to match at high rpm which winds up making it get "stuck" and i have to clutch out. Oh, and pretty much every truck I've had has had some idiot grind down the gears and burn out the clutch before I get it.
Floating made me better at double clutching for my yearly "reviews" (read as waste of time), so much so that I am now %100 positive I didn't know what the hell I was doing before I learned to float. Besides almost leaving the transmission on the road once or twice when I first started there were no ill side effects. Haha
Any tips for learning to shift without clutch

Interesting, but, even though I am a clutch use advocate, we can't learn a lesson from European synchro transmissions. They need to use the clutch to shift.

Well based on what im reading here, there is apparently no way to float properly. So you cant do "either" fine....
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
OK .1 can do 'fine' the other I can do but it's not the right way'
-
If you shift fast enough you don't need to 'float'.
Lepton1 Thanks this.
