Dangit - I haven't been able to get a smooth shift since I first read this thread!
aiwiron, MJ1657 and Scorcher21 Thank this. -
I'm a "streaky grinder". I only grind when I'm nekkid.
OK....some days are better then others....leave it at that...... -
Grind it driver, they make more transmissions every day.

Just keep forcing it. Eventually you'll hear a pop and it won't grind anymore!CondoCruiser, Lady K and aiwiron Thank this.

Maybe i should grind it on purpose? Id much rather have a 13 speed anyways.

Or the shifter forks come up into the cab

Your company will thank you when you return a 10 speed and its now a 9 speed!aiwiron Thanks this.

Every time I shift. I learned on old 2 stick trucks. I never grind and shift with 2 fingers. I've driven trucks with 15 over, 18 over, 4 X 4, 5 X 3, 10 spd, and one had a 10 spd, a 3 speed splitter and a 2 speed rearend. That's 60 gears forward and a V-12 CAT and would creep so slow when in the oilfield you could walk around it but would do well over 100 in Okalhoma.
