Clutch is killing my knee !

Only use the clutch to start going from a stop. Other then that or heavy traffic and backing you dont ever need to use the clutch

They've probably got a old stiff clutch. Or one of them heavy clutches.

I won't swear for all trucks but my replacement options were 1800 lbs and 2200 lbs. 2200 being a stiffer clutch.

I could see 2200 being used for heavy haul but for standard 80k. 1800 is just perfect. And the knees like it too.

 

Most driving schools require using the clutch, or double-clutching. Just bare with it until you pass the road test, then you can drive like the rest of us. I know it sucks... it will be over soon enough.

 

Try adjusting the seat for both ride height and clutch pedal movement distance.

If the clutch is good and adjusted correctly, you should only need to move it about 2 inches to break torque.

 

Schools and most DMV examiners do not want to see you floating gears. They expect you to double-clutch. While they are some exceptions to the above, nobody's ever failed a DMV test because the double-clutch.

 

After you clutch a couple of thousand times, it will just be *one* of the pains you feel every day.
