Thank you. This video is better than anything they taught me in CDL. I’m watching this for some tips as I’m currently at school waiting in line to take my last road test preparation in the next couple of minutes. Tomorrow I have my last state exam for driving then I’m out of here 🙌🏽
I’m testing in a 6 speed. I usually like to start in 2nd gear. The problem I’ve been having is, my truck stalls out from time to time when taking off from a complete stop. Any advice to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏽
Had the same problem but learning how to control the clutch release and gas while taking off is a main key you prob let go of clutch to early what I do is raise my rmps and when it’s above 1 I half way let go off clutch you would feel the truck move then speed more up to 1.5 and let go of clutch completely it maybe :) it’s diff but that’s how I learned somehow starting off in 2nd gear because 3rd is too high to start off in a stop position
If you have to emergency break, say if a car jumps in front of you last minute, do you just go to neutral and hit brake or do you have to downshift if say youre in 5th gear?
I have trouble knowing when to slow down and stop when light is red or when light changes from red to green. Do you have any advice in those situations?
When approaching a "stale green light", a light that has been green for a long time it is best to slow down and be prepared to stop. If at that point the light stays green then continue on through it, however if it changes you will be going slow enough to bring the truck to stop safely without having to slam on the brakes.
With synchronized transmissions yes you push the clutch all the way to the floor when shifting gears up or down. With non-synchronized manual transmissions you "bump" the clutch a few inches as to not activate the clutch brake.
@henryc2859 i would say a couple taps. I've noticed when I say rev it up people sometimes rev it way too hard. Really if you pull on the shifter and tap on the gas you'll notice the shifter will come right out of gear. You'll literally tap it again to downshift.
No, you do not have to double clutch in a synchronized transmission. That is for non-synchronized transmissions like 10 speeds, 13, speeds, and 18 speeds.

This is like the only video on this subject. I have to test with 6-speed truck I’ve never driven before and I’m trying to get as much info as I can.
Good luck with your test!

Just push in clutch and press brakes
I have trouble knowing when to slow down and stop when light is red or when light changes from red to green. Do you have any advice in those situations?
slow down to 15 mph and shift back to 1st
When approaching a "stale green light", a light that has been green for a long time it is best to slow down and be prepared to stop. If at that point the light stays green then continue on through it, however if it changes you will be going slow enough to bring the truck to stop safely without having to slam on the brakes.
When you down shift at 1200-1400 like you mentioned, do you need to rev it up while it’s in neutral back to 2000 before you shift into the lower gear
yes
when slowing down to down shift, should i apply brakes while slowing down or let off when down shifting?
It is typically advised to apply the brakes before you start slowing down as then you could focus on downshifting and that whole process. Thanks!
With these, are you able to push the clutch down all the way to shift each gear
With synchronized transmissions yes you push the clutch all the way to the floor when shifting gears up or down. With non-synchronized manual transmissions you "bump" the clutch a few inches as to not activate the clutch brake.
Do you have to rev it up to downshift?
Yes
Not in a synchronized transmission but yes you would have to in a non-synchronized transmission.
You don't have to, but you should. Just like a car transmission.
@@midwesttruckdrivingschooldo you have to worry about your speed though?
@henryc2859 i would say a couple taps. I've noticed when I say rev it up people sometimes rev it way too hard. Really if you pull on the shifter and tap on the gas you'll notice the shifter will come right out of gear. You'll literally tap it again to downshift.
Next week, we tackle puberty
This video is probably just confusing people.
I disagree..shifting is all about feeling the resistance points and working with the rims
RPM'S
Do you have to double clutch on 6 speed ?
No its synchronized more like a car then a semi
No, you do not have to double clutch in a synchronized transmission. That is for non-synchronized transmissions like 10 speeds, 13, speeds, and 18 speeds.
@@midwesttruckdrivingschoolbut on the test don’t they make you double clutch? Will double clutching work in this vehicle?
Can u float gears in this transmission
Yes you can however it is going to be overall better for the transmission to use the clutch.
It's no different than driving your daily car
