Stalling at every traffic light at 4th gear

You have no idea what lugging the engine means do you?

Then they need more training till they can control the truck plain and simple


Your the one that got huffy and butt hurt over a little questioning, this can be argued all day I just have better things to do

 

Proper method when you get to actual driving is no throttle when releasing the clutch. Once the foot is off the clutch pedal you're good to add fuel. Biggest thing is picking the proper gear to start, which I said earlier allows you to take off smoothly without lugging the engine.

 

Agreed, OP start in 2nd

 

Dang that’s a lot of clutches in his career ..

 

Then they need some training .. shortcuts to put a body behind the wheel don’t cut it as evidence by the crazy crashes lately

 

That is if she is not bucking already trying to stall first.

Always do have clutch out before adding the horsies and don't spare em either. Move it out.

Maybe we break out the old iron. Make him stand on the fuel all day until footsore.

 

Your clutch on the floor is engaging the clutch brake. No no no. Never. You burn through that so fast...

Get that clutch just enough to break power, stop with the truck in A GEAR with clutch in just far enough to break power. When stopped go ahead and shift into a gear you want, if you get that ztztzzt from the trans then add clutch to floor and engage the transmisson brake to stop the transmission from spinning and then select the gear you want.

It gets busy before that light turns green. But as soon you are in that gear ready to move out pull that clutch off the floor to about halfway, it should sit there flutting at you waiting to GO. When you go, add fuel and pull clutch out in one smooth movement. She will lean when its all the way out. Add all the horsies and get ready to shift.

When you shift you throw in just enough clutch to break power. No more than that.
