Hah I learnt on a prime mover with no synchromesh on any of the gears, bastard instructor would make me run it down a grade in neutral and then move it into first - had to rev the crap out of the engine to get it into the gate.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Didn't we have that already recently? Ending with the big surprise that reverse gears are not synchronized?

Useful to known when your clutch cable breaks...
(I always double declutch a down change, you hardly need any clutch then either)

My dad taught me not to mess with JSOP

And why not, when changing gears on modern manual transmissions can be done so smoothly?
I remember when I was a kid, every once in a while the (lady) schoolbus driver had a bus she would curse because she (almost) had to use both hands to change gears.

THe comments on imgur state that this is a swedish system, where you preselect the gear using the lever, and the gear is automatically changed when you press the clutch pedal.
(Yes, I am the fun guy at parties).

I fived you because of the pinky technique.
Reality:
The weekend after I finished the V6-V8 swap:
427 Mustang - Showin' Off For My Dad - YouTube[^]
After installing open cutouts:
open cutouts - YouTube[^]
After installing supercharger:
Ride-Along 20170329 - YouTube[^]
The last two videos are a good measure of how I drive. The car already gets enough attention from the cops, so I have a very strict "No Stupid Sh|t in the Mustang" rule.

Hi All,
Having issues with the 'old bit of software that nobody use except...' The thing was a proper utility that was used for setting and reading our products. Stopped being developed for customers some years ago, continued development internally to add features. Features that I need to use, features that are not documented anywhere but the poor so & so who developed it. Who is off today, please update some documentation some time when you are doing mods that no-one will ever use.
|
|
|
|
|
Recognizable, had some colleagues in the past that refused to do documentation
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation is part of the project; it needs to be scheduled and management needs to give time to get it done. I've fought that battle in the past.

Following the previous post, my train of thought decided to leave the station on its own and arrived at a very strage destination:
How many of you are old enough to remember that you had this extremely irritating[^] screensaver once?
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant Anonymous
- The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine Winston Churchill, 1944
- Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. Mark Twain

I never had it, but I clearly remember this[^]

In 24 years of Windows use I never, ever installed a third party screensaver. Mostly because my screen was always in use and also beacuse of the first malware that spread its way through dubious screensavers and desktop wallpapers.

That one was of course my favourite. I miss it. It's actually possible to set it up to run on current windows versions, but the resolution leaves a lot to be desired nowadays...
However, here's a link to a SEVEN AND A HALF hour[^] video of Johnny Castaway
