If it is done right without grinding the gears, nothing.
You need to take the load off the gearbox, by lifting of the gas slightly, when changing up. Pause in neutral before easing the next gear in.
Changing down is harder to do smoothly.
Lift off the gas, pause in neutral, increase the revs to what you think it should be, for the speed in the next gear. Ease the stick into the next gear down.
nope, if you shift at a certain rpm than you dont have to hit the clutch. but its different with every truck and if you miss too often you will screw it up pretty nicely :P
== At a low RPM it is recommended to use the clutch but at 3rd gear it is alright to shift UP to 4th without pulling the clutch.
Cars, trucks, or any vehicle that has a stick shift (as opposed to an automatic) have clutch pedals. Many vehicles have been and are available with either shift method, depending on what the owner likes best.
If you do not use the clutch to shift, there are a couple of parts that will eventually wear to the point of causing the transmission to drop out of gear. Given the cost of clutch replacement or gear replacement, you should always use the clutch. Similarly, you should not downshift (with or without the clutch) to slow the vehicle down. Use the brakes. Brake pad replacement is simple and inexpensive on most motorcycles.)
its really simple all you do is pull in the clutch kick down the shifting bar which is right under your left foot and to shift up kick it up and to shift down hit it down simple is int it
Best way is to just float the gears - shift without using the clutch. However, if you do this wrong, you'll destroy your transmission. If you use the clutch when shifting, firstly, you double clutch - try shifting it like a car transmission, and you destroy the transmission. If you don't know how to do this, go to a truck driving school. When you shift, only push in the clutch far enough to disengage the transmission - don't go all the way to the floor with it, or else you'll wear out the clutch break. Don't roll out of gear with the clutch depressed.
yes it happend to me when i quit for like a mounth
clutch is necessary for easy driving. when we press clutch it separates gear box and engine shaft and that time bike has free moving and we can shift our gear and do easy driving......
no you have to use the clutch if not it will take a toll on the clutches I have owned a warrior for over 5 years and never changed the clutches in it and I shift on the go. Mine won't let me shift in a higher gear if I don't have the RPM's. Maybe I am lucky, or maybe if the RPM's are high enough it won't hurt them.
With a little practice you can start a vehicle in 1st gear and shift gears without the use of a clutch. This would be only to get you safely home or to a garage.
If it is an eight speed in a truck, chances are it is a big rig of some sort. Push the clutch in and put the shifter in first gear. Slowly let off the clutch until the truck starts to move. Speed up until it feels like you need to shift again. You can slip the shifter out of first and into second without using the clutch if you are quick and get the feel of the engine RPMs. If you want to use the clutch you will need to double clutch. Push the clutch in to shift from first to neutral. Now let the clutch out so the engine and transmission gears start turning at the same speed. Now, quickly clutch again and shift into the next gear. let off the clutch and accelerate again. If you have a four speed with a two speed rear end there will be a switch on the shifter. Shift through the first four gears normally, then flip the switch an go back to 1st, which will become 5th gear with the axle in high range. To down shift you should double clutch too. First, clutch to shift into neutral. Let off the clutch and rev up the engine so the RPMs are correct for the vehicle speed and the next gear you want to shift into. Now clutch again and downshift. When you let off the clutch the engine, which can only turn so fast, will pull the truck speed down. You can give the engine some throttle and slowly back off so the engine braking isn't so rough or sudden. Good Luck!
Use the clutch and shift the gears. Manual transmissions don't have dip sticks.
