Finally someone who knows how to drive stick properly, I watched a video about a power stroke 1995 model dually 7.3 changing gears, he put gas as he was pushing in the clutch, which can break the clutch. And no you don't add gas to the engine while doing the clutch, you let go of the gas and then push in the clutch. Also when releasing the clutch do it slowly so you don't break it.
