    No money, all went to truck...
    I like this. Total 50/50 gamble. Lug the engine or a little whiplash. But usually if you're rolling, 2nd feathers fine. Sprintbooster has helped a little with this.

    For me it depends if im pointed uphill or downhill...
    If its flat and I have any movement I can just let out the clutch in 2nd and ride it out in gear without dragging the clutch

    I’ll leave it in second gear down to about 8 mph. If I have to slow more, I apply brake and gently push it into first gear.
