The Last Step Is Always The Hardest. Any Advice?
Topic 189 | Page 3
Darnit Starcar you made me feel self conscious about my double clutching , I double clutched for at least three months after I first started. Ooops...
And Kathy ( GREAT name by the way, that's my mothers name, and she spells it with a "K" too! Congratulations for spelling it the REAL way lol Wooohooo!) don't worry about the shifting, when I trained with Central before we drove the truck for the first time they asked us who drove a stick. About 5 of us raised our hand, and we were told to forget everything we do when shifting in a car. Completely different. You'll do just fine.
Thanks James, not many people spell it right! I can't wait to get started, I am so excited (but scared too) one of my biggest fears is getting lost,(and double clutching, and down shifting), I am directionally challenged, guess I had better learn to read maps REAL QUICK!!!!!
Double Clutch:
To engage and then disengage the clutch twice for every gear change.
When double clutching you will push in the clutch, take the gearshift out of gear, release the clutch, press the clutch in again, shift the gearshift into the next gear, then release the clutch.
This is done on standard transmissions which do not have synchronizers in them, like those found in almost all Class A trucks.

BMI:
Body mass index (BMI)
BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:
It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.
