Have you ever driven a 16 speed? Looks complicated in the video.

    Used to love shifting in reverse. There was one place I had to swap the roll off box out several times a week that you had to back down a real long dead end then turn to get the box. I used to shift in reverse and then down shift. It used to get some looks.

    marmonman a drove a few miles my self and i never double clutched much either, might put a little pressure on the clutch pedal to kind of help things along. and i still like your truck, that truck has not lasted this long because you dont know how to take care of it. and dont believe the old story about retirement, that you will be back in six months. be careful out there and take care of your truck, there is not many left.
