My dad always claimed to be able to shift an old non-synchro jeep gearbox
from first to high and back without a noise from the gearbox.
He probably didn't use the clutch at all....a technique I learned on 10
speed trucks in the 70's. Learned to double clutch too, but for normal
acceleration through the gears, no clutch at all after start up.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands,
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop manual.
