Man,, Downshifting & lissnin to it fart & grumble is half of the fun of riding a Savage.. The other half is seeing how quick itll get across town,, AND in order to do that Youve gotta use the transmission,, comin and goin,, You can upshift w/o even touching the clutch, from 2nd on up, and you can go from 5th down to 2nd, To learn, play with it from 4th to 5th,, do that and youll learn it..& believe me, it can make some pretty awful noises and you can jerk it around REAL hard & not hurt a thing.. I KNow,, cuz I did that, when I was TRying to figure out how to downshift into first w/o a clutch,,, It CAN be done, I did it a few times, BUT, when it doesnt work well,, it is really not good.. so, I dont play around with first.. Theres no way the clutch sees more wear from downshifting, as long as you sync the engine up to the transmission as you go.. and Id never dream of downshifting without gassin it.. ever,,
Its a dang shame theres not a place to go to spend a day learning to drive old trucks,, ya know? Just a dango 2 ton would be good enough. Learn to double clutch and downshift to set up for a turn..
