Gunna have to disagree here. If you do it properly you can change with your fingertips.
A good guideline to if you are changing gear/accelerating properly is watch your passenger. If they rock backwards or forwards more than a few inches (showing my age here!) it aint smooth enough.
Dont do this. Go and drive a proper truck not a re-badged Renault |
Hehehehehe
Top post GasOLane ....... Having driven a few trucks in my time I thought I may be able to give a little input here but alas all you big truckie boys have done a great job ........
I do agree that a fingertip approach to gear changes is best ........ can still be confident doing it ..... could you all imagine a 5'1, 50kg gal hanging off a gear stick harshly whilst getting 20ton truck around a paddock !!!!!!! I dont think that would work at all... Be gentle with her & she will love you forever .......... :evilsasmo
Bottom line, well what Dad taught me was ..... ITS ALL ABOUT THE REVS
