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.The Challenger, 7mouths2feed and truckinwva Thank this.

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 !!!

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.
truckinwva Thanks this. -
He was asking about the 13 speed.. Now just sit right there in that chair lookin' pretty and let the men have the conversation.
