This 3-speed trans is gonna have to go...

Can I just say, no matter what the car (or truck) is there is NO need to double clutch anything. And yes, I drive Semis, dump trucks, and euclids for a living; I like to believe I'm pretty apt at driving. Learn to slip shift and you wont even need that clutch pedal except to take off.

Except the fact that it's hard on the drive line. U-Joints take a beating, constant clutch adjustments, etc. I know of at least two trucking companies right now that if the truck "tells" on you (engine tale tells data logged in the computer) or if you "tell on yourself" (clutch adjustments every 50k-100k miles) you're no longer driving for that company.
