<p>[QUOTE="Mylastmile2018, post: 6884113, member: 209974"]I will never get used to that. That is assinine. This is horrible for trucking. I need to be in control of when I need what gear!!! Hey trucking! I thought you were smarter than this. A computer shifting for me is against everything I know about matching a gear with the texture of the terrian. Years of blizzards, feeling the drives in my feet legs and ### and spine. Feeling the steers in in my palms, and knowing the right gear for that stretch, grade, and greasyness, and now I tried Auto shift it was extremely dangerous. I dont need a transmission dropping or gabbing gears or fluctuating r p m. Computers don't know my surroundings, roads surface conditions....much more to say, but it would fall on deaf ears anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
