    Why are you making a big deal out of something you don't need to drive the truck?

    As for you doing the work, don't bother. You can really screw things up without knowing what you are doing.

    When I started driving I had to concentrate on the way I used the clutch. Always drove a stick before so. I had to change my ways. I adapted quickly. But now sometimes in my car I only push my clutch half way down and I end up grinding the gears. My wife gets a good laugh out of that.

    My clutch brake sucks. I have to stand on it for 10 seconds to get it to work.

    The idiot before me messed it up I think before he got fired.

    It doesn’t really matter, I can just hit the gear I need before I stop or jam it in low or low low and take off. 8LL ftw.
