Crash-gearbox changes is something that, when you've mastered it, you don't forget - yet you have difficulty describing it to others.
Rather like riding a bike . . .
Having learned to make clutchless gearchanges on my first car, I thought I'd be OK with heavy trucks, but there was loads more inertia to consider. I did master it, though only after a few totally missed changes. Stop and start again. Try again. Got it after a while (some boxes were easier than others).
