Another newb question

1. no but if your still in gear it will accelerate.
2. Clutch into reverse and your rolling. Remember to clutch back out of gear when you stop. Good luck

 

1 - Yes, If it's a manual tranny, it'll bunny hop and stall out if you come to a stop without depressing the clutch.
2 - 10 sp and 13 speeds I have driven have had reverse in the far left and up position.
2(a) - Yes, you need to control the clutch in reverse also.

Actually, it's not that far off a car - cars have a syncromesh transmission that allows you to depress clutch and shift - trucks you have to double clutch/float/match engine and gearbox and road speed. Not that difficult.

Keep 'em coming.

 

Yes, thank you. In gear at a low speed, the truck will still be trying to propel forward in whatever gear you are in. If the gear is too high for the road speed, the likelihood is it'll lurch forward jerkily and stall at idle RPM's.

I'll stop now - I'm not explaining this well.

 

The pattern, timing, and the fact that there is a clutch brake are different. But its a manual. Same concept as in a car. Clutch all the way down to engage clutxh brake, into gear, let off clutch till it grabs, feed off more clutch as you feed off the brake. When at a stop you can hold the clutch part way down to disengage the gear without engaging the clutch brake.

 

Nope. You'll have to clutch in or take it out of gear or else the truck will stall.

 

Boy oh Boy!! Whoever has to train you is really going to earn their money!

 

Really you have been working on cars and trucks for about 20 yrs? And your mechanically inclined? Your asking questions like these? Give me a break. If you have to ask this truck driving may not be for you. The road is dangerous enough as it is
