I enjoyed this thread. I haven't shifted a manual transmission, or double clutched, in many years, if you don't count the paddle on the Shiftronic on my 07 SF, which I have played with a couple of times just to see what it did. (Does that count as shifting without using the clutch?) We used to have manual steering, manual brakes, carburetors, vacuum operated windshield wipers, etc., but no more. Thank God.
