    Yeah the older trucks when I started out, you revved them up higher then the new motors. Just
    loved COE's (NOT!) that were popular back then.

    The 7 speed trucks for used for local they have a Synchronize synchronized Clutch so you don’t have to double clutch. You drive it like a small car or truck. You press the clutch all the way in every time. when downshifting no need to rev the engine just push clutch in and bring it down a gear. This is for a 7 speed transmission with no splitters.
