Never had no problem with you, cdreid. But... I've shifted on ice MANY times with no problem. Say you're coming up an on-ramp after stopping for fuel or food. Gonna stay in 3rd gear for the next 200 miles?
Say, you were doing 65 on dry roads and just ran into a snow storm, where the road is already packed with snow/ice?
Ask WindWalker about the ice storm around Amarillo that year. It was "dicey," but.... it's not impossible to shift up OR down on ice.
And that one was relatively easy. But... maybe, you were one of those in the truckstop that night.
