Floatin Dem Gearz!

I think most companies want you to double clutch anyway.

 

alot of it is feel, you can shift same time as normal

just do the same as double clutchin w/o touchin the clutch

let the RPMs fall about 400 rpm and wham your in

like i go up to 1800ish and let it fall back to 1400, when i see the needle atop the 15 mark and go ahead and slide it in, because the 2 tenths it took me to think it gos right in

yourll pick it up, for about the last 7-8 months ive been driving im getting the hang of it, i hardly touch the clucth except for stop lights

yourll get practice practice practice

 

I just raise it up to the same rpm's that would use to double clutch, let off the fuel and shift the same way as I do when I dbl clutch and it goes right in. I do it the same way for every gear. Works perfectly for me when shifting up or down.

So do it the same way except don't use the clutch....you'll get the feel for it. Just don't force it or you'll butterfly your drive line, if you are grinding then you don't have the rpms right.

 

If you dont want to double clutch thats fine.But if a company wants you to and they have a censor on their truck like transport america,then you will or they will know about it.Double clutching isnt for bums,its for people who do it right.There is some post on here about floating gears.I know there are alot of guys who do it,but there is also alot of guys who wouldnt do it if they owned their own truck also.Alot of guys dont recomend it.

 

you mean to tell me that transport america makes it mandatory to use a clutch?????????

i float all of my gears, trust me yourll pick it up

 

If you have a Rockwell transmission I've found them to be more stubborn about floating gears than a Fuller. Keep trying and you'll get the hang of it. If it grinds don't force it, use the clutch. When you downshift let it go into neutral then rev the engine while applying a little pressure to the gear stick and it should suck it right into gear. Be patient and don't tear up a transmission just so you can say I don't need the clutch. I've also seen a few newbs who try to shift with the jake on. It won't work.
