That is true. I must say that at lease I can make them tractors move without bucking....lol the others are still learning the clutch release.......I keep telling myself ......maybe because of my age, I grow up having to learn to drive a stander. And I think that's why it came easier on that part for me. But now that I'm awake this morning.....lol I must say that the old tractor we started in had so much power and felt right as I step and grab with a three point to get into it. Then after the kid ate the 1 gear off it.😳 we had to move over to a different truck. It looks new from the outside. So everyone was 😍🙌👏👏👏 . It was like harder to get up on and I'm still looking for the same railing and places to use. Then once you are in it. And moving it's a turtle compared to the old beast 😏 and I told everyone the the clutch in the old one was like new. This one is like search and find deep. If you know what I mean. Anyway bring it on. I'm ready for the day! I hope everyone of y'all have beautiful day. Please don't wait for the world to come to you, get up and take the 1 step and then the second and then the third. Then before you know it your there. Over come your fears and do it. I have that one lady in my class of three lol. Anyway she must have a 100 for every thing and must get it right on the 1st try. I told her relax need room for growth and we are human so please remember we learn by making mistakes. If I'm going to make them which I will. I want to do it now so someone can tell me how to fix it or what to change to get it right. Why I did what I did and that was the out come of that move. So please don't be so hard on your selfs. You are there to learn not to be the Valarey Victorian. This is not high school people. 😂😂😂😂

I learned to double clutch and shift to 9th then how to shift down. We started yesterday and all day today. We drove on thr road that had light traffet on it. Tomorrow we learn to drive in heaver traffic and a lot of lights. You will never guess who our instutor was........ A retired DPS officer who gave the driving test! How great is that......what better way to learn to set in a truck with one. He was a amazing teacher! We won't have him again. And that's ok. Because so far I have learned something from each and everyone I have had contact with !

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.
