    That’s awesome! Very impressive to me that y’all can skillfully drive these manuals. I tried to take my CDL test on a manual after a lot of practice but failed miserably. lol I learned my limitations quickly. Thanks for the video!

    Very good shifting. Great engine sound. When you pulled up to the stop, sounded like a Series 60 when you let out the clutch. When Im empty and feel lazy, i'll shift like a 5 speed. Start 2H, split into low, 5L, 7L, 8H. Back in the day, I learned on dumptrucks w/5&4's.

      @@iBackshift Thank you! And yes when I’m empty and lazy I do the same! I learned on a milk tanker and that forging liquid really helped me to get the shifting just right!

    I drove a 18 speed most of my trucking career, I’m a retired truck driver of 45 years. I love that transmission, I drove Peterbilt for about 24 years, but it a great Transmission for all kinds of hauling. You’re smooth and clean in your shifts. First time viewing your channel, keep up the great videos. God bless you and your family.

    You are one tough cookie!!! My oldest brother tried to teach me how to drive a stick. He gave up after 1 time, and me grinding the gears! It all looks so exciting, but I would never have made it! You make it look easy, but I know it’s not!!

    Splitting the gears gives shorter rpm reps toward next gear.

    I would tell anyone it takes practice and patience and dedication to your job and your equipment. Now a days all new drivers it’s a Automatic transmission, they don’t know what they’re missing 😊

    You won't pass your test if you don't use your clutch. The question you should ask is how many miles and how many throwout bearings replaced.

      I don’t ride the clutch, my mom trained me to drive in the year 2000-took me one month to get my CDL. Most guys don’t use the clutch because they can’t shift with it. Takes a “real” trucker to use the clutch (sorry you must not be coordinated enough to use it-keep practicing and you’ll get better!! 😂)

      I would change her throw out bearing instead rebuilding transmission. I bought a truck with a chewed up last two gears 9spd trans from incorrect shift timing, still works but a pain. I do use some clutch in extreme soft condition to make sure there's a ( full ) gear engagement otherwise a violent jump out can occur, did buy a trans for parts with a massive hole. My knees would not clutch all gears except twin stick light clutch on main trans no clutch auxiliary.
