    My truck knows me like I know it. Flat HI way or mountains. I miss a gear on occasion, everyone does.

    I agree with you on this too. I double clutch every now and then too.

    Yeah I know on your CDL test they make you double clutch. Then the first thing the trainer does it teach you how to float them if you don't know already. Thank god I got grand fathered in and never had to worry about being out with a large company!

    I don't think I've counted gears since I was learning to drive a set of sticks. That was 20 years ago. Hell I can't even tell you what gear I'm in most of the time, but I always know if there's another one to go or not just by the feel of where the stick is.

    Counting gears, this is news to me. I hope their all there as I don't crawl under my truck every day. :biggrin_25523:
    Low, Medium, high. Better check it, just to make sure.

    It knows what gear I want. No better love than watching the road rise & dip, on a full moon night. I make America move, it's my job. It has it's perks, :biggrin_25520:
