Shifting gears-Volvo Fh12/12 speed

[Teejoker1]

Bo94dk. Your a fucking idiot. Get your cdl and drive trucks, and then learn how they work. You don't gotta use the clutch. But its not recommended. (Damage can occur)

[Bo94DK]

@ussenterp65 they are synchronized the only thing that is different from a car is the fact that a truck have loads more gears than a car thats the only difference on european trucks... the most american trucks arent synchronized and if you drive those you do not use the clutch to change gears only when you start from a stand-still and have to go to reverse but when youre only shifting gears you dont use the clutch

[sgtsukhy]

i dont get number 4

[18WoSHaulinCrew]

Andy I just noticed, only after a year of you uploading the video. That truck doesn't look like it's equipped with a crawler gear, or do you have to range change to the high position in reverse to get the crawler on your truck??

[DanW900]

I don't understand why American trucks have to use crash boxes. They should use synchronized transmissions.

[Breiavis]

this gearing is giving me headache, difficult :-/

[Jodadez]

Great! I enjoyed it!

[majjoud1991]

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeat

[truckdrivah]

So confusing.

[tommizzr600]

I'm shocked. I've been trying to work out your words. And honestly i can't handle it. Your English is terrible! However the way you are driving the truck, is not bad. But it is funny how you are explaning the whole thing on the gear shifting. you suprised me also with the small 6 and with the big one. I didn't know that such kind of gears really exist. We rather distinguish between high and low gears in a truck. 1-3 low 4-6 high. And each gear includes one extra gear, so it gives us 12.

[bodyshaperdude]

This is the best gear shift instruction video for a volvo fh12 I have found on youtube so far. Thanx.

Are there some absolute NO NO`s when shifting gears on a fh12??

[xXdavidroeck1996Xx]

ok danke für dieses geile video jetzt check ich das mal endlich! muss man fürs spliten kupplung treten ? is doch einfacher als ich dachte

[gabikamionos]

Hello!

Nice vid, i learn a lot from this vid!

You means 12speed -> 9 forward gears ( 1,2,3,4little,4big,5little,5bi­g,6little,6big ) 2 reverse gear and the Neutral (N)?? Reverse gears on the top right side of the stick? And where is the Neutral gear?

Drive safe! ;) (i'm a "future trucker" too so i watch every tutorial vids from you!)

[LC878]

Thank you for this Vid-i drove a FH12-440 in my Driving School-first few hours it was a horror to shift......i remember how often i was standing in front of a Red-light-and tried to speed up not in the first but the fourth gear-cause the damn tiny little bitch was in down position not up-lol. Greets..

[geati6783]

with an actros410

fully loaded i shift 2nd low -> 4th high -> 6th low -> 7th low and from there on every half gear

empty: 3rd high -> 5th high -> 7th low -> 8th high....so the rpm is always from 1000 to 1600 and accelerates pretty fast without leaving the "green-area" :D

uphill it doesnt work, get too low rpm while pressing the clutch :/

[SMA380]

Any idea of the song name? :) Awesome video brother.

[c0deland]

nice video. so you have Hi/Lo on each shift? I mean 1-2-3 (LOw/Hi) - that means 6?

and then Split 4-5-6 (LOW-HI)?

Have you used in the video 1-2-3 only on low, right?

[xXdavidroeck1996Xx]

und wo ist die split taste?

[Tohasj]

Where does the reverse sits? Does it also has a lever to prevent accidental engagement of reverse like in a normal car?

[KYLEMORICE]

cool man now i know how to shift a euro truck i have been wondering how the shift patterns work on european trucks. thanks for posting..kyle

[elnico1990]

ok, u got

1/4 3/6 |______| |

2/5

but it looks like there is much more on the stick, right?

can u tell some more about it? another vid or something? cuz this was a very good video.

i never before drove a manual, my uncle teached me to drive with an automatic, but it's not that hard.

[aid2003]

You have the MAIN Gears 1-6 and can SPLIT them I call it half gears..

Its on the side of the stick..

If you drove tractors its like turtle and rabbit..Strong or fast.. If you drive up a hill a hole gear is to much and you split and take a half gear..

[TheARoDoner3o]

I guess you have to push the clutch too after splitting right?

[zileevropa]

yes

[18WoSHaulinCrew]

wow people always have to make it complicated, the only time me n my dad would have used the splitter is when we went up a 6% plus hill/grade. just stick it in 1^ and use the stick till 6 then range change it, go back to 1 (aka 7 when range changed) to start again, we'd go about 100km/h in 10th or 11th depending on the terrain.

[aid2003]

But with a Volvo..

You can drive FULL Loaded without split..

Anyways..Maybe your dad drives better then me..LOL

[18WoSHaulinCrew]

There's a possibility Andy, a possibility... lol ;) do a vid for when your empty then show use some full gear shifting, that's how volvos work LOL

[ropsutopsu]

Whats the song in the beginning?

[aid2003]

Its from Bella B..

A greman artist..

[CUMMINANDSCANIAV8]

[lesenipingvin]

Hey andi :D. Great video. My father also drived Volvo manual gearbox but it was a 1998 model :D. He drived for Firma Poscharnegg from St.Johann im Saggautal. Do you know them ? Greetings

Oh and Gute fahrt :D.

[aid2003]

I know this Company..

THX for watching..Andy

[seansuth]

YOu know how many times I've been flamed on my shifting video becasue I say "split the gear"? Im glad to see someone else say and know the smae as I do. Great video. I'd like to drive a truck there just to feel it

[aid2003]

I agree with you Sean..

I also don't like automatics..

So lets split some gears..lol

[uchomates]

thank you Aid2003!!!You are our best teacher!!!your videos are the best!!!Thx one more time!!!Good luck on the road!!!

[aid2003]

????

Just try to speak clear..

Not the best video..

But I am glad you liked it..

[R62Longline]

you have range and splitter in your fh12?

[aid2003]

There is a range and a split..

3 gears and then range..

every gear has a split..

[freak4LKW]

[aid2003]

[baccy2k8]

thanks good vid i can shift a scania 420 gears they r easy

[aid2003]

YES...Like in a car..

[24tigerone24]

Nice video!!! 12 speed is always better ... but i only use the splitter when having a heavy load going up long hills .. the rest i just use the range change 3,4,5,6,7,8,..

[DreamFlyer1988]

I'm driving with the same gearbox with the truck i'm trainig in ...:)

[aid2003]

I like the 12 speed more then the 16 gears...

[mad4diesel]

nice tight shifter, reminds me of shifting a sports car. not like the huge sticks you see in some of these trucks.

[aid2003]

Yes..Its a tiny stick..

Shifting like a car..

Even it drives like a car..

[cipmars]

Sehr schones video, indeed! Who said trucking isn't brain surgery ate shit, as we say in Romania. And by "to eat shit" we mean to lie shamelessly!

[aid2003]

HAHA..

Thats right..

[emgie89]

hey, awesome idea! what a great surprise and privilege to me: "(... )Special to my future trucker friens here on the youtube:(...) emgie89" :D:D you're awesome, bro! hope i would have chance to use yours advices :)

[aid2003]

Thank you..

I just give some tips..

[Wolfgang46]

So richtig die Gänge reinhauen wie früher die Hand am Knüppel und das letzte aus dem Truck holen. Mit der Automatik hat sich alles geändert. Mir fehlt einfach der Kontakt zum Truck.

[aid2003]

kann ich verstehen..

Gratuliere zu deinen neuen subs.. weoter so..

[hosatosa]

I agree with CP and aid... Automatic sux... Great video!! ****

[CyberPassenger]
