It's even got synchros! :p

I drive, among other things, a 1930 Willys 8-80D. It's got a non-synchronized three speed, and it's amazing how many people just assume it has to be a clashfest. No, you just learn to double clutch properly, and... actually, even most people who drive manuals these days don't understand enough about the system to make sense of double clutching. :( But on the older transmissions, I double clutch up and down, and life is quiet.

That engine (a 4.0L straight 8) also passes the "nickel test" - I can start the engine, and balance a nickel on edge on the head while it idles.

You actually can float the gears if you're good, no double clutching required.

I learned how to drive a stick in a semi-truck - no synchros there - it makes it hard for me to drive a synchronized one.
