Struggling in double clutch in lower gears.

People giving some bad advise. This is how you shift in low range. The trick is shifting at 1,000 RPMs or less like 800. The reason for this is you don't have match the gears. You can double clutch it will go in all the lower gears. The engine can pull the trailer also. So you will shift thru 5 gears just getting thru intersection.

You don't even have to be good at double clutch and it will go in each gear. That's why you shift at 1,000 RPMs or less.

 

One guy here says we're wrong and going to tear engines apart by lugging them like this. I don't know, keeping the rpms down in the low side works for me.

 

Just listen to this and pretend you're driving a chromed out Pete with straight pipes and want everyone to see. Slow and easy!

 

I agree, plus they are low RPM engines. They are designed to have most pulling power at 1,200 rpms or even a little lower today. Even if someone lug the engine a little vs tearing up the trasnmision. Plus they learning how to drive. Have lots stuff going on at one time. You want make it as easy as possible and not be worried about lugging the engine for 5 or 20 seconds.

Shifting at 1,500 in low range is absolutely crazy. If you don't match up the gears. A new driver will let the clutch out like in a car. The you can tear the drive line out doing that. I can't believe anybody would set up a new drive like that.
