How do you properly use a clutch on a big rig so it will last?

Best way is to just float the gears - shift without using the clutch. However, if you do this wrong, you'll destroy your transmission.

If you use the clutch when shifting, firstly, you double clutch

• try shifting it like a car transmission, and you destroy the

transmission. If you don't know how to do this, go to a truck driving school.

When you shift, only push in the clutch far enough to disengage the transmission - don't go all the way to the floor with it, or else you'll wear out the clutch break. Don't roll out of gear with the clutch depressed.
