But I guess that wouldn't be a concern unless you: A) Own the truck. or B) Have to pay for (or perform) clutch adjustments and replacements. Park on a hill right near the top. Press down on the clutch pedal. Shift into high range and reverse. Release the brakes. As you start to roll backward and reach a good speed, release the clutch pedal and mash the throttle. Remove transmission from gear. Slam on the brakes. Product is now shifted. This was saved for extreme conditions when a scale was known to be open en route and the bunker FINALLY dislodged into your trailer. Rare as hell. Maybe 2 times a month out of 80 loads.

On level or uphill ground it is abusive.
