if my gear grabs, i dont force it, i just tap the clutch. no sense in dragging it out, cause then it will probably throw into a wrong gear.

The way to change fast from a standing start uphill is to take it out of gear
without the clutch, as soon as it's out of gear push the clutch all the way to the floor (fast), this engages the clutch brake, then into the next gear. This is according to an old 13spd Eaton manual that I read ages ago. It works well but timing has to be perfect.
Although to be fair I was doing it on a 'W' Model where the gearstick goes straight into the box (no cables or linkages)
But enough of this, I'd better give schmidty his thread back and wait for the test results to be posted.
