> but few drivers or rapid transit systems seem to be aware
I find that amazing. What the heck are drivers ed instructors doing? It's not just hard on the passengers, it's hard on the machinery.
It's the same with the clutch. I've driven with enough people who fancy themselves as great shifters, but they jerk the hell out of the clutch every time, never attempting to match the shaft speed with the engine speed. If I comment on it, they always deny doing that :-/
If I'm on my game, I can shift smoother than an automatic. The bonus is the clutch will last a very long time.
