Thank you very much for the advice I’m going to try this while training

That transmission a 8 speed ?

Don't raise your fuel too fast, it'll go right by the hole!

If you can't shift with 2 fingers ...don't force it 👍

Decent video ...camera work could vary ...,you talk about steering wheel position...yet unable to see 😮😮

Thank you sir. This video was extremely helpful!

22:01 I think if you just listen to the sound of this video, then it is just like what I heard when I did my CDL road test. 😂

Thank you for your insights. Preciate ya.

What an absolute legend! Wonderful teaching, this will give everyone a great confidence.

I’m Not a driver. But I think this would be so beneficial if it were taught. If you can’t drive a manual, you can’t drive. Period. The fact that he knows this isn’t too damaging to his transmission is a testament to his his experience. What a great instructor.

The best video on shifting. Thank you for so many examples.

I’m just learning in my Mack 2006 8-LL-L. This was a perfect video examples of the same situations I have had which resulted in pulling onto the shoulder to start over at 1st gear. I’ve been having some success at recover and down shifting! Thanks for making this video!!!

Going for my heavy truck license, this video was very beneficial to me as I've had a couple of failure to recover today

I wish that I had seen this a week ago. I was coming back from shoulder surgery and was told to recover an 8 speed from Houston to Illinois. I hadn’t been in a manual since trucking school 8 years ago and it was hard on the newly reconstructed shoulder. I made it there but lost gears s lot the first day, then shoulder was hurting by t the end of the second day! I was glad to be at our terminal. But now I wanna get back in it and try out your methods! Thank you.

Clutch pedal not a rest

I agree. This was a really, really excellent video as I am still having some trouble finding my gears. explain that really perfectly. Thank you. gonna try it tomorrow at CDL SCHOOL

Thanks. For the lesson

Can you all HEAR the release brg RATTLING near the end of the video.....He fukked that brg in less than 20mins. What a fukkin joke....I would NOT EVEN let you teach my 16yr old daughter how to climb into a truck properly FFS. She has driven my 18 speed about 100 miles and she can shift better than you!!!!

Riding the clutch pedal that way your release bearing will be shot in 50k and the clutch will destroyed less than 100k. Who the fuk would teach a newbie that kind shifting. WHO uses the clutch in that way anyway???? WHY NOT teach them the CORRECT way to shift in the first place?????!!!!! You just keep on SLAPPING that clutch taking your foot off instantly and the clutch will be done in LESS than 100k

Leave enough time for people to read moron

This guy is destroying somebody else's truck this can't be his truck is grinding the shit out of it while making videos

This is horrible advice.

Very good video with different scenarios im going for my Cdl in 2 days and I’m glad I found this video

It’s not a problem when you know what you are doing but one does not know is serious problem thank you so much for showing us the proper way to recover and teach your experience

Excellent training man :) thank u

What an awesome video. I really learned alot. Thanks

I tested in a 10 Speed Cascadia but when I got my job my trainer was in an Auto so they put me in an Auto. I've been driving for 3 yrs now and I'm getting an 8-Speed Pete Friday. A little nervous but I will be getting a refresher from a top driver. Gear recovery was one of my biggest worries but after watching this video I feel much more confident. Thanks for the excellent information!

Thanks, that really helped me to refine my technique

Outstanding. Thanks Al

Great video!!

Just float them

this video is still helping new drivers not to panic. thank you

I trust this is your own truck you're dragging cog teeth on deliberately, I would be less than happy if it was my rig, but having said that a well made video for the novice and some experienced drivers.

They did not teach me this In driving school.. my first week of actually driving losing gears put me in many dangerous situations for myself and others around me

I've just learned of a mistake that I've always made, I had always pressed the clutch all the way to the floor not knowing that it made things worse when the gear didn't grab! Especially on a down shift to engine brake! I'd always have to stop then start up all over again.

One of the hardest things for me to learn. We drove a 10 speed in class and they taught us 6th gear is the escape gear . If you're rolling least 15 20 mph and miss a gear put it in 6th . I want more practice in a Manuel. I can do it but I ain't good at it and now the company I'm with has all automatics .

People who get car driving licenses should have to learn how difficult driving these are.

You buzz gears because you are not at proper shift speed

Big truck clutches don't work like little car shit

I need to make a video of me swimming a 6 speed Eaton quarry truck. I go through 3 speed before crossing an intersection.

Yall just need to slam till it jams, grind till ya find.

Since axle dump, 6 speed eaton, wrong rear end. Top speed 50 at 3500 gasser. 80's KODIAK

If I put my foot to the floor, the pedal gets momentarily stuck behind the carpet

That poor gearbox

Going to Learn to drive a dump truck 2 axle , and do the pretrip , I say this is the best video I found on you tube , their are others , though this is a 5th wheel, I believe it covers everything for Icbc class 3 Road Trip for a dump truck .Thanks Frank

This video gives me what I exactly wanted. Appreciate your sharing.

If you miss a gear and have 15 ton or less kust skip the gear If the fruck is unloaded just sake off in 2nd or 3rd gear

All the pedals and gears are right why do americans put the steering wheen on the wrong side?

Great advice, thank you!

Is that a 3408 Caterpillar sounds good very helpful video as well
