a pro at upshifting ,downshifting but I can't start on anything but 1st in 10spd

Ain't going to hurt your transmission

Might burn up your clutch if you give it too much gas taking off long term.

Bust up your transmission slamming gears.

 

This is why I would never hire a driver to drive a truck I own. ###...

 

But don't you want that extra .3 mpg or not!!!!!!????

 

Being in pa.

Yes if you ever want to get on the interstate from those wonderful nonexistent merge ramps.

 

This is a good way to drop a driveshaft, break an axle, trash your trans, I would be real upset if a driver dropped the clutch in my truck, no need.

Foot on the brake, no throttle, ease up the clutch till you feel it want to pull. ease off the brakes left foot on the floor now ease into the throttle.

 

Ignore everything Cargowahgo says. I hope he's a troll and not actually that dull, but you just never know anymore.

A good rule of thumb for starting gears in a 10 speed

loaded flat ground/4% grade-2nd
loaded 5% grade or more-1st
Empty w/ trailer only-3rd
Bobtail only-4th

Be careful letting the clutch out as not to make the whole truck lunge forward excessively.

 

i always start in fourth if empty or bobtail. been dooing oit for years and never burned clutch or damage a gearbox.

 

On flat ground, @ 80K in start off in 3rd, 2nd or 1st is for starting on a incline. MT 4TH or 5TH.

 

I'm known to troll occasionally



But noob can do it the "proper" way like you guys are saying.

Or the "real way". Which he'll figure out eventually like floating.

If you keep popping my clutch like you do you are gonna rip out my drive shaft !!!!!

I'd have so much fun screaming at you

But you'd get it.
