With any front engine rider that I have used over the years, you must engage the clutch/brake to change transmission gears. I have yet to own a front engine rider that allows shifting "on the fly". My Poulan Pro is no exception.
When releasing the clutch into a faster speed gear such as 4, 5 or 6, I am unable to ease into the gear the majority of the time. As with all the front engine riders I have used over the years, it generally feels like jet airplane G forces hitting me as I release the clutch, no matter how easy I release it.
Does anyone have a technique for releasing the clutch without whiplash?
