Drove two vehicles like that. One was a big ass dump truck that didn't have reverse or 1st gear, and had to roll started. Popping a clutch in second was... A unique experience.

The other was a little dodge raider that didn't have first gear and had to be roll started. I had to pop the clutch in reverse every day. Lol. I was so happy when we got the clutch repaired. I loved that car so much. A month later it jumped time and we had to sell it. :(

I understand the dump truck won't do this, but couldn't you get the dodge going in second or third? That's a thing I had to do in snow/ice, otherwise you'd just be spinning.

Actually the dump truck did do that. Haha. I could do in the raider, too, but it was much more finicky about stalling out.
