Testing at the dmv with a manual transmission?

if i remeber correctly that would be the 6+1??? if it is i BELIVE it is a synchronized tranny, just ease off the clutch wait for it to grab then roll into the throttle, then just clutch it in
but if possible tee if you can drive it BEFORE the test to get familair with it

 

2 hours really isnt enought IMO. can you get it for 3-4 hours before you test? any reason your not going to test with trailer?

 

He has his CDL already... Probably just bobtail with a manual tractor because he got his licence with an automatic.

 

Much easier to shift with trailer.

 

Depends on the tranny. Synchronized tranny, yes; non-synchro, no.

Escaping your restriction to automatics isn't going to teach you to shift a unsynchronized transmission, and you're not going to learn it in a couple hours, or a day.

 

OK, good deal. Glad you are getting more qualified, you never know what the future will bring.

 

If you're testing on a 6 speed . then you'll need more testing to remove that restriction I think ( not sure) , most if not all tractors rated as class 8 vehicles have a 9 speed or a 10 speed transmission many have 13's , 15's , or even 18's ...nothing close to what you're testing on....you are fixing to jump from the frying pan into the fire there pal.
