Every vehicle I own except my Chrysler 3000 requires a double clutch to shift. The 3000 has the whacky auto stick.
Double clutching is as easy as pushing the clutch in once to put the transmission in neutral, letting out the clutch for a quick second and pushing in the clutch again to shift to the next gear.
Practice up shifting. It is easiest. You don't have to mess with the gas pedal if you don't want to and you can let it sit in neutral a little longer without screwing up.
The whole reason to do it is to get the gears spinning to help mesh them together when you finally do shift back into gear.
Down shifting is a little trickier but you are more than likely slowing down so you don't have to be as precise with matching the speed, or you can skip the whole process and use the brakes.
Shifting into 1st gear is darn near impossible, so don't try until the truck is at a complete stop. It will save the gears and your ears.
It does take a little practice to make it second nature, but hey you need a reason to drive your truck more anyway.
I learned how to double clutch on my Austin Healey and it id virtually the same on my truck.
Once you get that mastered lets start another thread on heal-tow shifting through corners.
Have fun.
