Didn't anyone teach you how to drive without a clutch? My kids are not allowed to go for their license unless they can do it without crunching gears. its a bit hard on the synchro rings and only to be done as little as possible.



I never really tried to grasp it in the Mini, I am however quite talented at it on the motorbike,. I think the reason for this is because my arm/ brain/ foot coordination simply fails me sometimes in traffic.

The thought of rebuilding gearboxes will have me in a cold sweat at night, so I have always just used the clutch out of fear of breaking something expensive.

Would I be vindicated if I said I can double clutch a Massey Ferguson tractor?
