Shifting a 10 Speed

This is an official video from the Eaton/Road Ranger website showing how they reccomend you drive a 10 speed transmission.
Can be found somewhere on this site - http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/Markets/Truck/ProductsSolutions/Transmission/in... - but i dont remember exactly where.

I use to drive 13 speed but now i got 10 and i m having little trouble i guess the gears are so close together or something

@BrendMover is the 10 in a newer truck! might take some getting used to if thats the case. and a 10 while for all intents is relatively similar it will probably just take a little time to get used to.

@baldymp3 it's a used freight liner year 2007

@BrendMover should be well and truly worn in then. mate id say just stick at it and it will come with time. the biggest trouble i used to have with a 10 speed was going from 5th (top gear bottom box) to 6th (bottom gear in top box). it just felt wrong because it wasnt how the pattern should feel, it just felt backwards. in Australia we dont have many 10 speeds and only a few more 15 speeds which use the same pattern as a 10. we predominantly use 18 speeds.

proffesional drivers dont double clutch, they float

[baldymp3]

@jman9061 depends on your view of what a professional driver is. most (including me) float the majority of the time. this video is basically to demonstrate how eaton would like you to use their product.

i posted this video and the 13/18 spd one after hearing some fuckwit say he and his boss would fire a driver if they double clutched.

@jman9061 Just remember not to float while learning to drive, at least in Australia. Here we have to double clutch for our Constant mesh classes or it is a fail, even thou yes it becomes rather invalid in the work place.

[BeantownJim]

you use a clutch? i thought all these years it was a foot rest!

[jman9061]

@baldymp3 if eaton says u should double clutch, why the hell would someone fire a driver for doing it, what a idiot haha

I now have a double clutching everything, cause i learned to shift in a 5 speed Eaton Kenworth K100
