That's when you have to learn to "speed shift."

I know about the concept, but here is the problem. Without a clutch, how do you start moving in the first place?

The truck was started, in second gear, lurching forward drunkenly as the engine sputtered to life.

I stayed in second until I could get it to my repair facility, except for the occasional necessary full stop!

If it was started in second gear, then that's the gear you have to drive from...I drove an old Ford flatbed and it didn't even need a clutch, because the tranny was so "soft." (I had to remember to stop before I put it in reverse, however....)

It got me from Point A to Point B, and since my son was a toddler, I was grateful!
