Nah, you don't double clutch that thing. The transmission is syncronized. Just drive it normally. I'm not really sure what the 'correct' procedure is for shifting the Ruxel, but it's probably on the visor. I just pre-select it, clutch, and then wait for the speedo to jump and then settle back down. Personally I'd sooner drive a RoadRanger any day than one of those things but one of our fire pumpers is set up just like that... RoadRangers are 'supposed' to be double clutched but I know very few people who actually use the clutch. The only time I use it is starting away when she won't roll off first... then I use the clutch. When coming to a stop I generally just slip them out of gear and roll up. I'm running a 13 right now and I find that the first few gears in that are a lot easier if you snap the Jake for a second. Once you have some momentum up the rest get pretty easy. When I first started driving a truck I had a 15 speed. I clutched all the time then. I also found that I was adjusting the clutch quite often... Figured if I didn't get away from that I'd have a job I didn't need before long so now the clutch just gets used for starting. Keep in mind that the Automated RoadRangers work on the same principle.
