Gary,
I agree; changing gears without the clutch provides great satisfaction. To
me, there used to be (past tense because the +4 has been "laid up" longer
than I like to think) this fear that there would be a grinding sound and the
relief that the shift lever moved like a knife though warm butter. However,
I was never able to impress my passenger because they could not see my left
leg not moving during the shifting (it's rather dark down there underneath
the dash).
