    Love my Super 10. The real advantage is you have access to gears 7-8-9-10 with only one physical shift of the stick and you spend a lot of time in that range.

    Mine won't autoshift from 9 to 10 and back at all. I have to do it manually like all the other gears. Haven't figured out why, it's supposed to be automatic.

    Are you sure that 9 and 10 are supposed to shift automatically on a Super10? I know thats how it works on a 9 speed TopTwo but Ive always had to shift the top gears of a Super10 just like all the rest of the gears.

    Rob, you should go to UTube and look at the Eaton Fuller video on the Super 10. Very good info.

    Well that's comforting, but the 9-10 hole isn't labelled like the others, it just says "auto".

    As you know, I am certainly no expert but are you sure you have the Super Ten that we're talking about? My pattern has nothing on it that reads "automatic".

    I definitely have a super 10. It has a splitter on the side and there is two gears for each shift of the stick. Only the last hole says Auto, the others are 1/2, 3/4 etc...

    Hmmm, never heard of that kind of Super10 before. I had a 9speed Top2 that worked well (when it worked). It was actually a 10 speed, but you shifted it like a 9. On a 9 speed, you go to 8th gear (7th on the Top2) and wind it out and shift to 9th (8th on the Top2). Around 60-62 mph, it would shift into an overdrive (10). The cruise control switch had to be in the ON position for it to work. try yours with the cruise in the ON and OFF positions.

    When it doesnt work, it would feel like going from 8th gear to 10th gear under load. Terrible.

    Is there a specific Eaton Fuller video on you tube that are referring to?
    There are several.

    I watched one. Looked like it was put out by EF. No mention of auto-shifting last 2 gears. I did get a tip on quicker shifting though that explains some things. I don't use the clutch much anymore, but the super 10 is designed to shift much quicker with at least one clutch push to break torque and drop rpms to shift range quicker.
