I wasn't part of the "We all know you are correct as to how everyone shifts them". I bought my truck with a 15 speed tranny and initially thought I'd have to clutch every gear. Was I happy when I was told how you shift it.
I don't remember on double clutching but I was aware that some non-synchronous trannys required it. I rented a "combination" to get my Class A and took the Haz Mat written test. The combination was a 10 wheel Ford tractor, city delivery type trailer (absloute minimum truck that would qualify for the Class A), minimum gears, single speed rear axle, that the owner used for just such a purpose, running ads in the local paper to get the business. Cost me around 150 bucks best I can remember. He knew the route and we took a test drive before the test and he showed me what to look out for.
The neat thing was that at the completion of my test the trooper told me to go to the side door. I gladly obliged as at the front door there was a long line and there was no line at the side door. At the time I thought I was getting special treatment but later realized that the line contained mainly applicants and road tests were a onesy twosy thing as they only had 2 troopers giviing tests.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
