One thing to learn at first, when you normally go over to your knee for 6th, just go up to where 7th would be on a 10.
Use the throttle to keep the drivetrain loose when splitting, you can preselect going up, but doing it going down might result in an unintended downshift.
"Down for up, up for down"
Splitting the low end is really useful in stop and go traffic, you can find a perfect speed to keep moving.
You will not miss anything about a 10, and you will likely regret every second you had to use one.

Am the only on to say, It shifts like a manual transmission reguardless of the amount of gears. Just different pattern.

I would start out by driving it like a 9spd, unless you are heavy beyond a legal load, you can start splitting when it starts to bog down or in the hills.
You'll be fine, just takes some practice.
And just because you can split gears doesn't mean you should, or need to.SQ609, Speed_Drums, magoo68 and 1 other person Thank this. -
