John my man, you're justy gonna hafta learn to "float the gears", which means shifting without a clutch. Anyone can do it. As you accelerate, when you want to shift, lift on the throttle, slip it out of gear, let the RPMs drop the right amount, thren slip 'er into the next gear. With a little practice and common sense, you'll have it down in no time. And contrary to what the truck school types may say, this is actually easier on the tranny and saves the clutch, as you are shifting with no load on the tranny as long as you're off the loud pedal. Try it, you'll like it! Gary
