Learning to shift "their way", ha ha. I assume that means double-clutching. I just graduated from my CDL program and they insisted that we double-clutch the entire time because the state tester was going to have to see that method of shifting. Of course, I'll be floating the gears once I'm on the road I'm sure. It seems so much easier on me and the equipment from my limited experimentation with it so far.
Good luck and keep us posted. Phil
