The best way to learn how to operate a clutch is on a dirtbike or, if you’re TDILOGIK, on an atv. :lol It’s how I truly learned. I didn’t just get into a 24,000 car with 9 miles on it and slip away. ---

1986 F250 302 4 speed, lifted with big tires. It was my fathers and was in mint shape. He drove me to the bottom of a big ass hill and said put it in first, give it some gas and lets go. 1st in that truck was a granny gear, you could jump off the clutch at idle and not stall it. First attempt I made it into 2nd fine… half way up the hill he yelled STOP!!! Then in the middle of the hill said try 1st again! That poor old truck! ---

The first thing I ever tried driving standard was actually a 1957 Ford dump truck (like this one): ![http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj45/mms58/Misc%20Ford%20Photos/Shelton%20Truck%20Show/IMG_0461.jpg](http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj45/mms58/Misc%20Ford%20Photos/Shelton%20Truck%20Show/IMG_0461.jpg) It was our old, old plow truck; previously a town/highway plow truck- was a 4-speed with 2-speed electric transaxle. If nothing else, you have to know how to double-clutch. ---
