How to shift a 18 spd correctly

Using the clutch to split gears helps me make smooth shifts..Just 1 push of the clutch Not Double Clutch..I dont always use the Clutch usually just on hills..

 

Shifts the same as a 8/9 speed, you can just split the gears in half, usually only done on the top side and even then just 7 and 8 unless you are off road or in traffic or such

1 direct, 3 direct, 4th over, 5 over, 6 over, 7 direct, 7 over, 8 direct, 8 over

you really don’t even need to touch the clutch with the newer rtlos, the old rt/o series you would to make it easier on the trans or you could pull it out of gear and put it back in

 

This! Once you get this down it won't matter how many gears you have. It is all the same concept. That said, my favorite is 13 speed and 18 speed which I drive exactly the same since I rarely split the lower gears on an 18 speed.

 

I don’t split them but the splitter does come in handy when skipping gears in the basement, once you get the hang of it.

I shift a gear and a half usually

 

Dang man I'll put my truck with you, impressive house to shift in basement

 

It's possible that's because the timing of the shift is going to be different.

If you shift from 7 High to 8 low you're only shifting half a gear. You're going to drop less RPMs as you make the shift.

So the timing of your shift has to be faster.
