I think driving a stick shift diesel takes a little getting used to. Your used to putting it in "ahead" like on the boats, and just going  ..... Maybe its just me but getting a "smooth" shift into 2nd is a challenge with my "78 & 9" , not like any gasser I have had. And like Larry said working on it is allot easier.
Good for you on the sea Scout thing.
