Man, I had to do that one time in southern West Virginia near Bluefield. I came out of a McD's sideways in my 85 GSL and blew the clutch to high heaven.



It was about a 25 mile drive back to where I lived at the time. And as I entered Rich Creek and went to turn left at the only stoplight in town some stupid bitch stops right in the middle of the turn and I stall the damn thing.



Luckily that car just wanted to run. I started it in 2nd gear uphill just by turning the key.

Haha..I hear it is almost an art. My friend does it all the time at the track in his 5.0. I never bothered to learn it as it sounds pretty complicated. Too much to think about while you are going that fast. Besides I dont think it really helps him that much...

The moral of the story: Learn how to shift, we're not in the middle ages anymore..and movies are fake, ricers are stupid.

If you drive an 18 wheeler, or any synchro-less tranny, you should care.
In an 18 Wheeler I only use the clutch to get the thing started. After that it's just working the gears.



Of coruse, I never got to see the higher gears as I was only moving the thing from one shop to the other. I'll always wonder what would have happend if I had been caught driving one without a CDL and what sort of evils would have befallen the trucking company.



The world may never know.
