    What the hell is double clutching?

    p.s so nobody is confused,the 500 rpm split applies when double clutching or using no clutch,hence using the jake to bring down rpm's. u can double clutch your 5.0 if you want(why?) but shifting with no clutch,while it can be done,is not good. if you want to try, try in higher gears.simple, at...

    MY 460 WAS STOLEN TODAY BY MY BEST FRIEND

    you owe the man reasonable costs to fix his atv.if i were him i'd take you to smalls claims court.if i were you i'd press charges against him.he cant steal something because you owe him.but you still owe him.$800.00 is a cheap lesson,neither a lender or a borrower be.
