Thanks for the advice on not using the clutch.
I knew real truckers from back when didn't clutch, but figured that was a black art that took thousands of miles to learn right.
Just back from five miles, and it works, just a little worse than my double-clutching.
Double clutching I make rude noises one out of five shifts. With no clutch, and five miles practice, one out of two shifts is smooth and quiet.

Posts on this forum have suggested the crash box transmission is virtually indestructible. I'll relax and believe that and ignore its loud complaints in the hands of a rookie like me.
