I received a demonstration of how to do that by an older man. He used the clutch to pull away only then he used his left foot to maneuver the gear lever up to fourth and back down and into first with not a sound from the gear box. Never quite mastered that technique myself mind. but i could go up and down through the gears silently.
First thing in the morning when the gearbox was cold it was a quick change. Once the gearbox warmed up it was a slow change. a warm Gardner Diesel taks a few seconds to slow down when she has been reving.
If you are still with us Mr Anderson I thank you for the gearbox advice.
