<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WitchingHour, post: 3978308, member: 63241&quot;]When you say you don&#039;t know how to drive a stick, you&#039;re referring to the manual transmissions found in cars and light/medium duty trucks? If so, you&#039;re probably better off not knowing how, because the manuals in these Class 8 trucks are much different in how they operate, namely in that you time the shifts, whereas car and light/medium duty truck transmissions have a synchronizer gear which brings the input and output shafts to the same speed... shift the transmission in a Class 8 truck the way you do one of those, and the end result won&#039;t be pretty.</p><p>Honestly, I&#039;d say it would&#039;ve been better if you&#039;d learned how to work the clutch but not how to shift, because granny shifting is a habit you&#039;ll have to be broken of now. Anyhow, don&#039;t sweat it. Thousands of others before you were able to figure it out, and that includes some who would find themselves on the opposite end of the spectrum from, say, rocket scientists. If they can get it, so can you. Just don&#039;t make a mountain out of a molehill. And yeah, shifting does seem daunting and complicated at first, but after a little while, it&#039;ll be like second nature, and you&#039;ll wonder how it ever seemed like such a big deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
