Don't feel bad, my '58 Plymouth had a push button tranny on the dash....I never got used to it and ended up getting slapped on more than one occasion for "groping" the girl sitting next to me....[:@]

Where does groping a girl come into having a push button tranny on the dash?

maybe I'm sticking in more than my 2 cents worth, but I've "popped the clutch" a time or two and it was done in order to get the truck to crank when the starter, battery,neutral safety switch was out or not cooperating.
We put the truck/car in gear, held in the clutch, got it rolling pretty well, and then let out on the clutch and hopefully the truck/car would start. I don't ever remember the clutch popping, but maybe it did!
The manufacturers say nowdays not to pop the clutch because it could ruin the synchronizers, so I would rather not try it again just to hear the "pop"! Will you try for me, Dusty?

Its a figure of speech. Kinda like ,"Dump the Clutch". If you do hear a pop, better go get it checked.

The last time I push/roll started a vehicle was a German Ford Fiesta in the 70's. I don't know what the recommended procedure was, the owner's manual was all in German...

"Sprechen Sie Deutsch, auf bitte?" Dusty? Probably enough to get in trouble, right?

The ONE time I and another guy met up with some German gals was at a festival at the "Fest Platz" across the street from my house in Sohren, Germany....our wives were out shopping together at the time, so we only danced a few polkas and then had a beer or two (or three)....it was tempting, but NO, I never messed around on my first wife of 15 years or any of the others, no matter what they did....you gotta have a higher standard to keep your self esteem and a sense of self worth.
