Probably because your not supposed to mine has a sticker with a warning to tge affect of no double clutching or floating it will mess the synchronizer up.
Also suggests skipping gears especially the lower end and when light lol.
Refresh my memory on the gears

Doh!. I don't recall seeing that sticker. I never bothered with double clutching and gave up on trying to float so no harm done, by me anyway. The other slip seat drivers, well...
-
oh come on now all drivers have common sense dont they?
Thats ok I did not see it at first either and did float a few but it was about like floating an old Chevy pickup got to get it just right. less than 20miles I was annoyed so pulled over and started looking around trying to find shift pattern thinking i was going for wrong gears. Been in some trucks with weird patterns on that I was really lost on first two days I drove it had.

The loads were always so light (and S. Florida so flat!) that I don't think I ever went through all the gears in the 4 years I drove that truck. Nothing to do with gears, but I just remembered it had a floor mounted engine retarder button that you had to step on to activate it.
