That's what I thought. At one point, the father tells the boy to pull the lever down. That means it MUST have been retarded. Throttle was up also.

The boy will learn quickly how to do quiet changes. The first time he changed down, he tried for 1st gear but had a good enough "feel" for the car that he stopped when he heard the gears grinding. I think just a few miles will see him driving like a pro. Besides, people like this are the future of our movement.
