Shifting and double clutch advice or help

Just relax and be patient, it will come with practice. I didn't get comfortable with my shifting til about 6 months in, everyone is different.

 

You will get the standard answer we give all new hands when it comes to shifting and backing.We get this question from time to time. Slow down, relax,practice every chance you get,take your time, we all had to learn. It will come to you . Stay relaxed.

 

I trained drivers for a chemical transport company, if you could use the clutch to start out and keep you left foot on the floor and shift all the way up and down that was part of my passing grade, in today's new trucks and the way companies are I doubt it would pass muster.

 

Any company that is going to hire a new grad understands that it will take time for you to get everything 'down'. The main points are not running up on curbs, not letting the truck 'coast' out of gear, paying attention to traffic, using mirrors, all safety related things.

 

Don't build any bad habits into your shifting or backing--they are hard to undo. Identify, or get help identifying, where you are struggling, and then work out strategies to work through these hard spots. It will come.

 

The single biggest issue I think most people just starting out is pushing the clutch i. Way to far and engaging the clutch break... makw zure you are only.pressi.g it in 2 -3 inches... that will usually do it.

Most companiez.that hire students right from school will.send them out with a trainer and that trainer will yeach you to float the gears anyway... just get it down enough to pass your road test and the rest will come in time.

 

I don't Double-Clutch at all.....Tach shift but.....I can Double-Clutch if necessary....

Not all that hard....Just develop the rhythm...
