How to shift a 10 speed manual transmission on a semi truck. Tutorial step by step. Eaton Fuller.

I appreciate how you broke this shifting down to advice terms. I think anyone that's trying to learn how to drive a manual truck should study the pattern first. If I would have learned this first I would not have struggled with this. Please continue putting out videos so that other students/ Truckers can learn this. Keep up the good work.

Great video, I got my class B cdl about 12 years ago and drove a 10 speed straight truck. I am now a truck driving student again. Upgrading to my class A. I haven't driven a 10 speed in about 2 years. I found out yesterday I'm a bit rusty with matching the rpms and the shift. Especially on the downshift. But with your video and more practice. I feel success is imminent.

[@iTruckiTrailer]

Hi! Thank you for your feedback I greatly appreciate it! Everything is possible! The only obstacle is our brain and people that try to convince us that everything is super hard. In reality everything is easy! To achieve our goals we need just two things: 1) Trust (our self) 2) Practice

Thank you for the video. I've never run a 10 speed before, and my next job I will be. I was just looking to find the shifting pattern and rpms to see what's different, and I found this video. This video should be an official learning video. You were very thorough and the information was very clear. I will recommend this video to anyone I come across who wants to learn to drive a truck. I'm going through your channel and checking out other videos. If they're anywhere as good as this one, it'll be worth the watch. Thanks again bud, keep up the great work. Maybe add a second shot of the rpm as you drive? To see it all at once would help as well. I'm a visual learner, so the more I see happening at once, the quicker and easier I learn. And many others as well I should add. I'm not thinking of just me, just explaining my situation.

[@lancewiegand6183]

Drove a 10 speed without the pattern anywhere. Was told it was an 8 speed. So, I thought what was 2nd gear really was 1st. This is a problem when I though I was going from 4th to 5th, but was actually trying to go from 5th to 7th. Was having a hard time until someone else told me it was a 10 speed😅 It was a world of difference, butter smooth after that!

[@iTruckiTrailer]

Really nice when you have someone who can help!😉

[@santossalgado2915]

In went from a 9 spd now in a 10 speed 05 Columbia. (Floating) It’s so hard. Especially going from 8th to 9th. I’ve been told to get it up to 1800 then up shift fast. I find up shifting easy when I blip the accelerator quick before up shifting. Sometimes even reving up slowly and dropping it in slowly.

Thank you for making this video, I drive manual cars but this is somewhat different from a regular car that is manual.

[@TheAlpineShepherdBoy]

First, thank you for the very informative video. I definitely feel like I have a much better grasp on driving the 10 speed which will be required for my CDL school. I am just curious, if I may ask a question, if you're in 5th gear and you flip to high range while in 5th gear, would you not then be in 10th gear? Presumably not as you show to switch into high range while still in 5th gear but I was just assuming that would be the case. Can anyone offer an explanation as to why this is or isn't the case?

It's much easier to float instead of double clutching. Single clutching is OK too

[@LandOfAbrahamMoses]

I wanted to drive high and low gear trucks but didnt know the gear operating system. Thought of just driving and get to know. But your tutorial has made me realize the importance of the rpm in gear changing from high to low.. Another thing like to know is what if im on 10th gear and suddenly arrive around a mishap on the road secons away, then which gear i need to engage to be fully in control, that is if i dont come down gear after gear. Or can i jump gears from high 10 to which gear would be best that i can go back to low. Just like normal 5 gear drive, you can go from 5th to 3rd . What should be done? Oh i forgot to THANK YOU. Just gave courage to drive.

This is easy compared to 13/18 speed because you dont have the splitter. However, the splitter is also easy. If you understand your revs and speed that tells you ultimately what gear you should be in, no matter what you'll be able to drive the 10.

You right I’m floating. Experienced drivers usually don’t use clutch there is just no need to kill your knee😉. But you need to use it for the test. I’m building a new video how to shift to pass the test.

I use Clutch just in first gear. Soon I will publish a video how to shift a 13 speed transmission. That video is going to be more detailed. I’ll show how to shift with Clutch and without with it. How to shift uphill and downhill what to do if you lost a gear, so hit that notification bell so you don’t miss it is going to be a good one.

Downshift is fairly easily. Let the needle drop down to 1000 rpm. Rev up the and quickly shift the next gear back . Drop the needle down to 700 rpm and you can for shift down skip a gear . For example let's say you are in 8th gear. You can skip a gear and shift to 6th gear

[@omarh4694]

​@@chucknorris2266 So in this case we rev up to 700+400= 11 rom to downshift to 6th??

I started driving this Eaton transmission today for UPS and I had never driven it.. I was grinding at the gears like crazy because I didn't understand this but now I do.. hopefully tomorrow I'll have the hang of it.. so when you drive with the RPMs precisely like this you don't even use the clutch is that right? You go from one gear to the other with no clutch work?

[@iTruckiTrailer]

Hi! You are right I am floating through the gears. No clutch.

[@Bandwidth24]

Manuals cause nerve and upper joint issues on OTR drivers. It's one reason fleets are going all automatic. I like manuals, but not OTR. Also gas mileage goes up.

[@iTruckiTrailer]

All depends what do you need for the job. Automatic is the easiest and most convenient.

[@Bandwidth24]

@@iTruckiTrailer Gas mileage goes up for the fleet. And what if your arm or shoulder gets a cramp or injured ? That happens a lot in the fleet.

[@alexkostenyuk]

Thanks for video , Do you still press cluch pedal before switching gears or only to start driving truck ? Sorry dumb question, I didn’t catch

[@iTruckiTrailer]

I didn’t use the clutch in this video. The way I drove is called floating. You just have to add double clutch every thing stays the same. Double clutch is used to pass the test.

As beginner am slowly catching up.

Don’t stop!

[@-raji-1078]

What happens if we shift the range switch to the low range while gear is in high range gear.. imagine like it is in 7th gear.

[@iTruckiTrailer]

Hi! If you are in high range gears 7-10 and you flip the range selector down while you are in the gear nothing is going to happen. You will be able to place it just in neutral position and then you will hear some noise from your transmission. To get rid off noise and shift into the next gear(up or down) you will need to select high range.
