10 speed tranny video.....

Sorry if this was posted before but I found it rather educational. Good for those like me looking to get into trucking. Might even be the same video they show in class.

Thanx for the video. I am sure it will help me out as i follow along with it as i have only driven the Eaton 13 with the splitter switch(direct to overdrive). Once you get the hang of the shifting techniques it is quite simple.

Once again, thank you, quite an informative peice of information.

Would love to see more of this.....

Make sure you have windows media player or some other program that will play .wmv files. Should auto load to media player.

I was trying to download the video to my hard disk and was getting an error that the url was a bad request/didn't exist, but it's downloading now.

Now that is a great video. They just got one of these at school and I can now see that the instructors don't even know how to do these right. Find some more video's please!

It looked pretty simple to me. What would there be to get wrong? Going on the throttle before it's time so it never shifts?

Have you drove a Super 10 yet? It may look simple but don't mean it is simple. I been driving it for the last three days at my school and it takes some getting use to from a 8 or 10 speed. I am the only one that will even attempt to drive it. All the other folks don't want to be bothered with it for some reason but I get good practice just driving the rig so it's worth it me to learn how to drive it. That video made it alot easier for me.

Again thanks to the poster for posting the link.

Marty
