Get the Transmissional Homosexuality mug.Any person who, usually by self proclamation, has a well rounded aptitude towards operating a transmission in which the power of an engine is sent to the wheels of a motor vehicle.

2. Dropping or "Dumping" the clutch, engaging the first gear in a motor vehicle, succeeded by depressing the clutch and revving the engine to around 4500-5000rpm, (the maximum power band) and following this, letting the clutch out, resulting in optimal acceleration, or in wheelspin if revs are too high.
