Under two grand isn't really flying, heading into a turn, carrying speed and down shifting can be tough on the tranny in certain situations. I'm also talking about when you are coming to a stop anyway not lugging the engine in low rpms, you could be coasting, using the brakes and saving fuel.
PS We had a 1936 Fiat Simca with suicide doors, double clutching wasn't optional.
