I can testify yo that.

When I was a young silly brat and just had my driver's licence I wanted to
impress a girl and let her work the gear. I'll do the clutch, you do the
gear I said to her.

It worked until I was early releasing the clutch and the gearbox broke with
a lot of noise...

Cheers, Michiel
