It is amazing how many drivers are unaware of the fact you can shift a manual without using the clutch.

I always use 1st right into 2nd. Follow the methods!

How do you shift without the clutch?

Start in first. Turn the engine on and go. Get the RPM's up and and shift to next higher gear without depressing clutch. This method is more for over the road drivers, as they are fat and lazy and unwilling to lift their left legs.

you only really need the clutch to start and stop

i also use it to take it out of gear when im going to downshift, but i rarely downshift anyway

On a somewhat related point......has anyone ever used 1st gear in a pkg car? I don't think in my 25 years that I used it more than twice. And that was by accident.

Heck, my use of the clutch was limited to starting and stopping a lot of the time. Hard to believe that some drivers first experience with a manual transmission is behind the wheel of a UPS vehicle. I learned to drive and took my drivers license test with a manual transmission.
OK, so I'm older than dirt. But, by that definition, I'm betting so are a lot of you.

in our center on a ojs ride if you dont use first they tell you to use it then as the day goes on they write you up not following directions

people not using first gear is why most standard shift cars in building need a new clutch

We`re more than willing to lift our left leg. How else can we kick you package car people in the ass? And some drivers lift it to pee off the dock. Helps keep the shoes dry.

Me too. I use the clutch too. It's what the boss wants us to do.

I wonder if that (I'm assuming it does) would show up on telematics reports..?

Don't care about Telematics. I'm happy to do the right thing just because that's what the boss wants.

Same. I am just curious if the vehicle telematics are specific to know if you are shifting properly.
