<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tscottme, post: 12236715, member: 19119&quot;]By the second day you will be about 90% squared away. I didn&#039;t know ANY semi-trucks had synchronized transmissions. Just drive and shift as slowly as you need to. You will probably miss a shift and have more trouble downshifting than upshifting. That applies to veterans and newbies. Just remember to only use as much clutch as necessary to slip into/out of gear. You don&#039;t press the clutch to the floor except when stopped. EVERY newbie presses the clutch TOO DEEP and that often activates the clutch brake which causes RPMs to drop quickly which makes getting into gear much harder and you will grind. Try pressing the clutch no more than 1/3 of the of the way down once you are moving at all. Don&#039;t psych yourself&nbsp; into unnecessary anxiety. Do the best you can and you will rapidly improve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
