    Just a future reference for any up coming drivers is always best to go with the option of learning to drive a manual road ranger gear box this will eliminate any future issues when it comes to applying for a job that requires manual gear box experience. Your best off going back and paying for some lessons with a driving school tell them your situation and see if they'll let you hire their truck to practice for a set fee.
     
    King Vortex Thanks this.

    Yes it does. If you can’t shift, you just a new edge steering wheel holder. One hand on steering wheel and the other hand playing with your smart phone or tally wacker

    I have the opposite problem. My company trained and tested me in a manual transmission then threw me in an auto truck.

    Take it in a 6 speed synchronized. You’ll get your restriction lifted at least. It’s the same as a car.
