As I recall, operating it was simple. I "floated the gears" by starting in 2nd, to neutral, switch back to low for 3rd, pull stick back to neutral, switch to 4th and enter and so on to 10th. INCREDIBLY FUN!!
Only used the Clutch twice: starting and stopping.

The above system didn't work too well for a 13. I thought it was an 8 or 9 speed with overdrive from Thomasville, NC, to west side Arkansas on I-40, with some incessant "grinding" events.
A Nice Elder Gentleman driving for Cornbinder Express (I believe that's the correct name with a Blue Cornbinder Tractor and either a drop deck or step deck) showed me, on a short run a couple miles on I-40, how it REALLY worked.
After the demo I knew a 13 speed, without "grinding events".

The SUPER TEN was the best I had ever driven until the "learning curve" of the 13.

ANY MANUAL TRANSMISSION BEATS AN AUTOSHIFT, just in PLEASURE and ENJOYMENT.
CHEERS!!

Cattleman84 Thanks this. -
Good transmission have used one for years with no problem. I have one for sale if anyone needs one. Motor went out and I got another truck.

I think I would've preferred it over a regular 10 speed if I had been a local driver at the time. -
I much prefer the Super 10 over a regular 10.
Just run it for awhile, then swap in a 13 when you're ready.tscottme Thanks this. -
