  2. Good luck. I know you'll get it. Someone said double clutch - it's what works best till you get comfortable and learn your shift points. Then you'll be floating up and after some practice, down. NEVER, and from painful experience, NEVER downshift between the splits, high to low in the same gear. It makes a beautiful sound of gears spinning and teeth clanging till it eventually connects with a VERY VIOLENT lurch and your engine dies. Hopefully you won't be going uphill with an overloaded flatbed... I learned from my mistakes...
