70mackMB Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Watch the video but pay attention at the 7:13 mark. Must be a new way to shift that l've never heard of. How do you shift a 20 speed using that logic? He didn't make it as a driver so he became an instructor. .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75514-mastering-the-art-of-shifting-a-10-speed-transmission/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago What kind of advice is that? We can't be having drivers learn how to read and feel RPMs and match them to road speed I guess.

mowerman Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I don’t know. I thought he was doing a pretty good job very informative for somebody that doesn’t know anything about it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75514-mastering-the-art-of-shifting-a-10-speed-transmission/#findComment-575541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago The 9 and 10 speeds are the simplest!!! Just float shift them!!! Obviously an instructor who learned everything from a book!!!!! And operates on flat ground... Would like to see him start out loaded up hill with one of the "super 10's".. You had to drive it like an old 12 speed Spicer and go thru neutral on every shift.. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75514-mastering-the-art-of-shifting-a-10-speed-transmission/#findComment-575553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago The guy did a good job of trying to explain. Sad part is most new recruits still wouldn't be able to move the thing 50 feet.

Joey Mack Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Im currently teaching a co worker how to drive a big truck. Im using a Ford/Sterling tandem dump truck. It has a whimpy Cummins and an 8 LL.. He is excited to learn. Friday, we were on a job site, so i let him run the truck. He did good, and let me teach him. He takes his permit test in 2 weeks. Then the real training starts. Im going to be a certified trainer, just waiting for the cert.... I find out tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75514-mastering-the-art-of-shifting-a-10-speed-transmission/#findComment-575577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Let's face it, ya can't teach guys like years ago. No more threatening them with having to fix it. No more smack'n them, or shaming them into learning (like telling coworkers they drive like a girl) Then there's the laundry list of reasons you don't dare let someone without a CDL on a road....mainly the fines and what your insurance company will do when they find out. I don't think I could teach anyone at this point. Hell, I don't even know where to get Crocks or flip flops. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75514-mastering-the-art-of-shifting-a-10-speed-transmission/#findComment-575580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
