Here's mine with the new owner, the dry clutch can be seen and described in action.

Just to bring this one fully to close. During my ownership of my particular OT-64, which is now owned by another member here, did indeed have a dry clutch. It was visible between the engine and the transmission input. It could have had a fluid coupling somewhere, but my machine didn't seem to...

So this part I get, and I've driven manual transmission vehicles for an eternity. What I can't sort is how someone inches the vehicle forward for tight maneuvers if don't use the gear select pedal like one would a clutch. Pulling away is quite simple, although it is possible to stall it I've...
