Nervous dude teaches quirky chick to drive

Dog tooth engagement box is nasty to drive smoothly.

All part of the art.

I learned to drive without synchros.
That was good practice for my cars that had synchros gone.
Even today, most of my manual transmission vehicles came without them.
I've learned to drive them, up and down shifting without clutch. Very gingerly for some of them and only after mastering the technique on somewhat expendable vehicles.
More than once I've found myself having to drive without a working clutch. Even did it in LA rush-hour traffic (that was a motorcycle, had enough slop in the chain I could get it into gear with the engine running.) Another vehicle (Saab), I started the engine in gear at a light and then ran through the gears without clutch.

It helps to have taken these things apart and understand how they work.

No synchros is not the same as dog or face-tooth-engagement gearboxes.
