    This is a random on-hand question for my fellow drivers, but has anyone noticed that shifting on the newer "redesigned" Freightliner Cascadias (2018-present) is really slow? (10-speed) What I mean is when you shift between gears it's not as snappy or "quick" as prior year models (pre-2018) and tends to stick to the gear you're in unless you clutch out of it? (I float gears with no clutch, as I'm sure many of you do) . Am I the only one that feels that way? Are the shift ranges different on these newer models? Thanks!
