    The 15 against the dash that we had was the smoothest transmission I have ever shifted, except for maybe the old 5 and 4, but I gotta say that having the same transmission in all three of our trucks now sure saves on some less than stellar shifting moments.

    I’m not exactly proud of my shifting skills with a Super 10 rental truck, especially after coming from a 13-speed to a Super 10.

    Then if he is a friend and you think your friendship will survive it...

    Going to the shop, or a hotel or to get a substitute trailer.. A pretty thick scratch..
    But quick clutch touch, accel, match it out, engage and winding back up...
    Look out your window, sigh and say... "Oh well, Rubber gears next year."

    At least; if he can reach you, he will hit the back of your head....

    I hated my 15 against the dash when I first got it, but I have to agree, it shifted as nice as any I’ve ever driven. Actually miss it now.

    I’ve always changed the top plate on mine to turn them around. I think it’s time I learn to run a straight H.
