    oh and to be honest unless you are super heavy or starting on a hill you should need to be spliting 1st or 2nd. r any of th gears on the bottom side. that will do nothing but see that you don't get up to speed untill next week

    It did it now and then. It was in ok shape. Not a prom queen or anything. Now that super 10 was a different story.... shift it everytime or it sounds like you left sparks and parts behind... more than likely I was...

    Tell you what bub.. I would go back to a super 10 in a heartbeat. Love that trans. I've never been able to row another gearbox faster.

    the reason why Im so concerned is because my friend told me I should
    split while in neutral when going from one physical gear to another..

    the manual say preselect it so you preselect. Does your buddy have an engineering degree and work for Eaton?

    What you are showing is right
