<p>[QUOTE="Voodoo Pyg, post: 8027709, member: 158335"]<span style="color: #ff4da6">Hi there and welcome. Took and passed my CDL test in a 10 speed three years ago. Since then I've driven up to an 18 speed but that isn't the point here. The guys are right. Learn the manual transmission and automatic transmission comes easy. I drove stick for the last few years and jobs. Been with my current company a year and was given an automatic Peterbilt two days ago after three 10 speed KWs. While I do miss shifting to my own accord, I am loving the new 9.2 mpg I'm getting over my original 8.0. That isn't to say that I still couldn't drive a manual if the time arises again. Good luck and again welcome.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
