Yip, a real truck with a real driver👍 Lady trucker here, retired at 68 after 44 yrs on the U.K roads. Started driving back in ‘74 when most U.K. trucks had Cummins / Gardner / Rolls Royce engines and Fuller Road Ranger crash gearboxes. Trucks I enjoyed driving. When I retired I’d been driving boring Volvos Scanias Mercs etc, all with sleep inducing auto boxes and cruise control 😴. Wish I’d gone to Australia when I was young and tried out your road trains 💁♀️
It’s how you should shift and it’s even recommended by every transmission manufacturer. It’s the proper way to shift. As long as you know what the hell your doing, obviously don’t beat on your rig, you can float gears (shifting without clutch) and youd be alright. There’s rigs with millions of miles out there all original. Driver treats it well and floats gears nicely never to mess up the transmission. I’ve been driving for almost a decade now and always floated gears as well. Let’s face it. Just about every trucker who shifts floats the gears. I just know though using clutch properly while shifting keeps the transmission 100%
@@kyleheppell2064 it’s easier to shift without the clutch… a professional knows how to properly shift transmissions with clutch using. Plus transmissions manufacturers obviously recommend clutch usage while shifting. You shift a car with the clutch as well. Just that in big trucks, you can float gears in a car I wouldn’t do it… you probably could do it if your very very good, I never did and never will.

All he is doing is dipping the clutch a bit just helps it mesh a bit smoother , helps if you’ve just jumped in a different truck ‘ they are not all the same
Your actually meant to use the clutch when changing gears in a roadranger gearbox, there is a video on youtube put out by roadranger corp on how and when to use the clutch when changing gears in a roadranger
@@andrewking4885 Yep... good call. I should have remembered that. Back in the early 80s, I drove a Marmon COE with a 350 Cummins paired with a RR 10 over. Lower case "h" pattern.
you can match the engine/gearbox at any speed if you know what you are doing, it wasn't crunching the gears at all , just popped in perfectly, so no damage done

"real truck driver". The point of a truck is to deliver goods efficiently as possible, not have an annoying gearbox.
Yep can't take me out of my auto truck @@zoltrix7779
First person I have seen use the clutch.
Rookie.

A good operator can shift without the clutch.. a better one uses it.

Yes you are.@@bobblanchard9041
Back in the 70s, I drove a long nose Mack (RL-700L) with a similar drivetrain (8V71T/RTO910). It looks so weird seeing the right hand drive lol

By the accent Australia. 😆

awestraylier
Gotta love the sweet sound of the old gm screamers lovet 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Usas mucho el clouch para meter los cambios de la transmisión
Regardless if you use the clutch or not if you haven’t got the rev’s right it an’t going to change into gear is it.

You can tell its a Detroit motor just by the gear changes a natural 8V71.
Yes and 8V71
lol... He's done that before!

When you skipped leg day but still wanna get that burn...
How does your left leg fare in traffic? Damn come on
Beautiful !!!
It’s like watching fast and the furious with the amount of shifting
Why is he using the clutch 😮😮
less stress on the drivetrain
I’m taking an educated guess is this a 8 gear engine?
10 speed. he skipped a couple of gears.
@@franko69oh ok thanks
10
He started in 2nd
@@philmckrakin6752 ok
Right hand drive?????
Australia.
he’s in a big aussie nugget
Sounds like a 6-71
Nope... 8V71T. Take a look at his web page in the description.
Nope, wrong.
sounds like a 671
8V71.
Gonna wear out yer knee that way.
Who cares, i don't, Do you.
too bad
Then engine sounds like a Detroit.
Force shifting no one that drives truck shifts that fast
Real truckers only use the clutch to get rolling.
Are you American ?
@@daneenmurf1043 nope
Americans know there is a pedal on the left. They just dont know what its for 🙄
Here we go . Real truckers crap
@@daneenmurf1043it's easier without the clutch.
You don’t need that clutch scooter!!
BTW, your steering wheel is on the WRONG side.
That's the right side, not the left!
Ya but you're using the clutch, I stopped doing that my first day driving.
We can all go clutchless. Its less expensive to you it though. Id never hire someone that didnt use the clutch
Yeah you won't drive my truck unless you use it.
Good old 15 speed
Nope... 10 speed RoadRanger. Probably an RT910 or RTO910. Take a look at his web page in the description.

@@andrewking4885 Andy, learn the difference between "your" , and "you're" !
Here's a hint .
"you're" = "you are" .
Good old 10 speed.
That box isn't going to last long the way he's hamming it into gear...and why is he using the clutch?
Rookie mistakes
Horseshit, tell me you know nothing about driving a truck correctly without telling me.🥱
you can match the engine/gearbox at any speed if you know what you are doing, it wasn't crunching the gears at all , just popped in perfectly, so no damage done
