    This is absolutley the best description of the comaparison between a super 10 and a 13sp...I had a bit of trouble with my super 10 until I thought of it like the top half of a 13 now NO troubles at all.

    SPOT ON! This is absolutely correct..best not to use clutch it will just throw your rhytm out of whack...top end RPM drop is 210-240 rpms per split gear, below in 5 down Rpm drop gets back to normal 10 speed about 450-500. No clutch it will be easier and smoother...one more thing..never force a shift use your throttle for RPM up or down.

    Have fun with it! I DO !!!:biggrin_255:

    If it's a Super 10, Eaton Fuller has a video on UTUBE that's really good. I watched it once and had a guy tell me over the phone about the transmission and I got it pretty well the first time. Almost no grinding LOL.
