Anyone else do this? Y'all know what I'm talking about or does anyone need a primer?
For me the higher the gear, the less often I'll use the clutch. going into 1st - almost always
2nd - usually, 3rd if I'm trying to accel quickly, and 4th/5th only if I'm going up a hill or in a big hurry
I never use it to disengage from gear. Even when shifting quickly, my throttle lift does the trick while I'm pushing in the clutch pedal.
Now that I'm using it more both bump starting and downshifting to stay in DFCO, it's probably good that I don't...
(In my truck I'll go so far as to rev match downshift, engine brake in 1st to my 'stopping speed'
but it has a seriously noisy drivetrain, and in particular the clutch. I think a U-joint is in order. Before you say 'use the clutch and that won't happen' see my truck pic in the garage
