I see no point to it at all. A moments emotional gain against long term health. My pickup has a transmission from a medium duty truck. Slow isn’t the word. The operators is clear in advocating every gear, every time. I get (or used to get) arguments from other owners about skip-shifting. They’re the ones now buying new clutches and re-man transmissions, or have spent it forward to the next owner.
Gee, I can float the gears in this truck, if I so choose. Again, why?
It’s part of owning it. Shifting is a rhythm. Part of being smooth in every eventuality.
