Operation
Double-Clutching Procedure
When ready to make a shift:
1. Depress the pedal to disengage the clutch.
2. Move the gear shift lever to neutral.
3. Release the pedal to engage the clutch.*
a. UPSHIFTS - Decelerate engine until engine RPM and road speed
match.
b. DOWNSHIFTS - Accelerate engine until engine RPM and road
speed match.
4. Quickly depress pedal to disengage clutch and move gear shift lever
to next gear speed position.
5. Release pedal to engage clutch.
*By engaging the clutch with the gear shift lever in the neutral position, the
operator is able to control the RPM of the mainshaft gears since they are reg-
ulated by engine RPM. This procedure enables the operator to match the RPM
of the mainshaft gears with those of the mainshaft driven by the vehicle’s rear
wheels.
