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
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??
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,..
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..
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.
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 :/
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.
@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
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..
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.
Can only agree with you CP..
My company order only trucks with automatics this year..
Mabey the last time you saw me shifting gears..

Just try to speak clear..
Not the best video..
But I am glad you liked it..
Where does the reverse sits? Does it also has a lever to prevent accidental engagement of reverse like in a normal car?
I put you in the describtion..
Thanks for all your support..
I'm driving with the same gearbox with the truck i'm trainig in ...:)
ok danke für dieses geile video jetzt check ich das mal endlich! muss man fürs spliten kupplung treten ? is doch einfacher als ich dachte
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 :/

There is a range and a split..

every gear has a split..
Danke..

You own this truck?
Great! I enjoyed it!
THX
I like the 12 speed more then the 16 gears...
YES...Like in a car..
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!
I don't understand why American trucks have to use crash boxes. They should use synchronized transmissions.
Yes..Its a tiny stick..
Shifting like a car..
Even it drives like a car..
yes
und wo ist die split taste?

You can drive FULL Loaded without split..
Anyways..Maybe your dad drives better then me..LOL
