  1. Manual transmission? What's a manual transmission?

  2. Now soak it in motor oil and add 10,000 rpms and you get an atv or motorcycle system. Virtually eliminates the wear from the uphill start. And performance to boot. 😁

  3. With the exception of starting off in 1st (and this is debatable) or reverse, there is no need to engage the clutch.

    1. My 09 Dodge 3500 with a 6 speed would beg to differ. I've driven semis so I know how to shift without clutching, but that 6 speed just doesn't work that way though I sure wish it would.

  4. I figured out how a clutch worked by taking the transmission out of the truck I had when I was a teenager and replacing the clutch it myself. No YouTube. No Dad. No help. Shitty tools. Got it done anyway. The story of my life. Learn on the fly.
