Shifting Gears

Haha! Thanks. I just edited it.

 

Hey thats trucker math!

 

This is going to cause all sorts of accidents from guys pulling out their calculators while down shifting.

 

I'm good, I had the Math for Marines MCI.

 

I tried the adding thing..... 0+9 9th gear for 9 miles a hour? But its grinding..... oh well ill try binary next time. Only 1's and 0's to deal with

 

Straight from 1st to 10th is a heck of a split though. Better put er to at least 6000 RPMs before you shift

 

A whole new meaning to "grind em, till ya find em"

 

What motor does the truck you drive have?

I noticed a lot of cummins motors like to shift at a higher rpm and they drop fast
but let's say volvo with a d13 Rpms drop slower and is much easier to grab that gear
Same with Detroit it loved being shifted at a higher rpm. Or that could just be me lol.

Or like my 13 speed loves the lower rpm like butter as soon as I try to launch it off the line it'll deny me from getting into gear. Not always but not as rough either.

Also keep in mind as stated above in the comments. No need to push the clutch all the way down just a 1/4 if that and don't rush it.


Maybe you should try to float down shift and then work on the double clutch. If you have the right gear push the shifter towards it and slowly climb the Rpms it'll literally suck it into gear once the revs are matched once you get the hang of that then start trying the 2 foot combo

 

Dying slowly lmao

He's paid to drive not do math
