Do You Have Experience With An Eaton-Fuller Super 10?

Cool, that’s what I thought but wasn’t sure.

 

Sorry. I notice you said this is your first range selector so you probably don’t know 13 or 18’s.

 

Down shifting is the same. 5 low, push the switch forward and then Immediately make the down shift now you are in 4 high. After a while it will seem like one fluid motion.

 

They are actually great transmissions for pulling tanks. With the lower number of actual stick moves it helps keep surge to a minimum.

 

I think that’s what it may have pulled before I bought it. It has a stationary fifth wheel with a riser. I’m trying to find the company that had it originally.

 

I was indifferent to it. I split my week between a regular 10 and a super 10. Half the time I'd have to look to tell ya what one I was using, muscle memory just takes over and you go. Some guys refused to drive them because they couldn't get their heads around a different shift pattern.
All in all just a another transmission. Worked fine.

 

My boy has one in his Columbia. It has the setup where it will bump between 9&10 automatically when on the cruise. The top was wore out and it was like shifting to different zip codes, but it was alright as it REALLY demanded his attention his first few months. They replaced the top bearing and it tightened the pattern right up and he’s happy with it now. Not much different than driving the top end of a thirteen speed

 

A lot of people disconnect the top two auto shift and turned the Super 10 back into a 10 speed.
I drove a FLD that was that way.

 

Super 10 you split every gear lever position. As soon as you put the stick in a new hole and accelerate, you pre-select the splitter to hi. Then when RPMs get to the magic point, lift the gas, mash the gas and you are now in the next gear. As you accelerate, pre-select splitter to low or down, wait for the RPMs to build, lift the gas pedal, throw the stick, mash the gas. Its very much like a 13 or 18 except their isn't a hi-lo range switch, just the side/thumb switch.

 

Exactly. One trip through the 5 in the main for 10.
