What I love to watch is somebody who's really good at it work their way through the gears on a two-crashbox setup like a 5X3 or a 4X4 arrangement. Back when Diesel engines had a very narrow power band like 1750-2150 RPM, I learned to drive a big rig on a B-73 Mack with a 262 Cummins and a Tri-Plex system. The guy who tutored me only used the clutch once in 15 shifts- - - -to get the rig moving! Jerry
