Clean truck. Just remember the shifter is not a hand rest. Your shift forks will thank youn

I was waiting for someone to say something about that 😂

[@super_taco9319]

Haha it takes a long time to wear out a shift fork like that but I’m more concerned with the clutch he slips it way way way too much gonna burn it out quick

[@josephg41]

While this is true, if you barely have your hand on it, its really not doing much. Plus most shift forks were coated from the factory in a thin fibrous film, a practice done for over 70 years, it absorbs most light force on the shifter such as your hand and also makes the shifter quieter. You have to be putting some reasonable force on the shifter to do any material damage.

Also idk why he is even using the throttle at all when taking off, especially taking off in first. And don’t even get me started on his down shifting, revving the engine without even double clutching haha, I always laugh when people do this.
