I drove a 18 speed most of my trucking career, I’m a retired truck driver of 45 years. I love that transmission, I drove Peterbilt for about 24 years, but it a great Transmission for all kinds of hauling. You’re smooth and clean in your shifts. First time viewing your channel, keep up the great videos. God bless you and your family.
I used to drive a daf xf space cab with this same transmission 4 over 4 range change with the hi lo splitter and loved it to bits Was dead easy to float gears without using the clutch especially in high box and a joy to use.. Sadly all trucks are auto box garbage and useless at the best of times.. I sat and actually went through every gear whilst you was shifting the box and knew you where in 7th high before you mentioned it. Next would be 8 lo then 8 hi and to downshift I used to go down in hi split till I got to 6th and then lo split and range change down into 5 hi then 5lo using the splits all the way down.. Really refreshing to see someone who can actually drive a truck❤
Thank you so much!! That’s really good detail you described (I think I get nervous when the camera is recording me and I didn’t explain things too well 😅)… thanks for sharing!!
That’s awesome! Very impressive to me that y’all can skillfully drive these manuals. I tried to take my CDL test on a manual after a lot of practice but failed miserably. lol I learned my limitations quickly. Thanks for the video!
You are one tough cookie!!! My oldest brother tried to teach me how to drive a stick. He gave up after 1 time, and me grinding the gears! It all looks so exciting, but I would never have made it! You make it look easy, but I know it’s not!!
Absolutely nothing wrong for using the clutch. Great driving skills. Everyone has their own niche on shifting.You and your husband drive with your angels 🙏🙏
I’m not a trucker. Long ago I tried a Scania 141 V8 450 hp with a 6 gear range box. No split. That means 1-6 low and then 1-6 high. That was fun . Usually it’s a 3 axle loaded truck and a 4 axle trailer in Sweden. 24 meters. The semis only run to ferries abroad. Nowadays the Scanias are automatic. You just ease the throttle and it gears up or down depending on revs and speed. Search Trucker Cassie, a RUclipsr from Sweden. She does the videos in English.
Very good shifting. Great engine sound. When you pulled up to the stop, sounded like a Series 60 when you let out the clutch. When Im empty and feel lazy, i'll shift like a 5 speed. Start 2H, split into low, 5L, 7L, 8H. Back in the day, I learned on dumptrucks w/5&4's.
@@iBackshift Thank you! And yes when I’m empty and lazy I do the same! I learned on a milk tanker and that forging liquid really helped me to get the shifting just right!
@SternDrive thank you for explaining how you float the gears…I will look at your video (my husband is not a truck driver so he can’t possibly know how to float the gears) 😊
When I drove a truck with the 13 speed I usually skipped using the 1/2 gear splits while shifting. I only split the gear on the final shift into 13 when I drove for a while. When the trailer was empty I started out in 4th low range then flipped into high range going into 5th It gets me going a lot quicker rolling down the road with an empty trailer or bobtailing.
Thank you and yes I am double shifting, check out my other video titled Double Clutching my 18 Speed Transmission where I have the camera filming my pedals 😊
AQUI NO BRASIL MUITOS POUCOS MOTORISTAS DOMINAM A ARTE DE ENGATAR UMA CAIXA SECA COM ESSA MAESTRIA. EU POSSO FALAR PQ APRENDI DIRIGIR EM UMA 1519, OUTRO CAMINHÃO QUE 90% DOS BITRENZEIROS NÃO TEM AS MANHAS DE DIRIGIR....🤣🤣🤣
When I drove truck we had 2 transmissions the main always 5 and auxiliary either 3 or 4. If you were good you could shift both transmission the same time. A 5x4 was 20 combination.
Timing has to be right when not using a clutch, split ten learned me. 18 Another realm and needed in 100,000 plus land. Clutch usage preserves wear and tear.😊
I've been practicing on a 13 speed Kenworth and it's been a challenge remembering if you're in the upper register and matching rpm when shifting down. It's worth not having a restriction though.
I’m not saying 18 speed trans is a waste of time, I’m saying it’s not necessary to use every gear in the transmission. I drive roadtrains & routinely skip gears even though I’m 100 t plus. She is good driver tho. Take care
I would tell anyone it takes practice and patience and dedication to your job and your equipment. Now a days all new drivers it’s a Automatic transmission, they don’t know what they’re missing 😊
I just uploaded another video showing how I double clutch. Titled Double Clutching my 18 Speed Transmission. Check it out if you’re interested (I tried being more descriptive for the ones that were asking about it) 😊
@@frankscipoti when I first started shifting in this video I split every gear that I shifted but then when said you don’t have to split the gear I was not
I am shocked to see that you shift a crash box with single clutching like a car! I drive an 18 speed Peterbilt as well, and if I ever use the clutch it is just partial clutching. That is, I pull it out of gear with no clutch, and simply clutch it into gear. It is just modified double clutch shifting. I'm curious to find out what you do if you miss a shift? How do you find lost gears. Single clutching will not help you on a non synchro transmission when that happens. For me shifting without the clutch, this scenario is never an issue. I just rev match and it falls into gear. Fascinating to watch your shifting.
I am double clutching…I have gotten quite a few questions after posting this video about that. I am planning on making a video showing my foot on the clutch as I’m shifting (going to mount the GoPro on the door side pocket). If I do miss a gear I just slightly rev up the rpm’s until it goes in gear-no grinding 😊 Thanks for your comment!
@@LafondaJackson436 Oops! Sorry. You're double clutching then is excellent, because you miss very few shifts. It's just that it looks almost like single clutching. Which you can do, but it is not the best way to shift a crash box. So, it looks then like a very smooth double clutch. You pass! Excellent driving in my books!
@@LafondaJackson436 I just watched your video again. Your shifting is excellent and smooth. I am impressed, BUT that is NOT double clutching. It is single clutching. Which you can get away with, and you certainly do well with it, But to do a successful double clutch you must in neutral let the clutch right out to engage the clutch plates. Your clutch is not being let out nearly far enough to call it a double clutch. But it is OK, because your shifts are great. Also, I know why you are not able to float shift without the clutch. It's simple. When you do your clutching, you are clutching early. What this does is it slows your shifts down to an unnatural speed. So when you try to shift without the clutch it will grind, and you will miss your shift, because you are trying to shift at an unnatural slow timing. Shifting without the clutch is naturally much faster. You can not float shift at your usual timing speed. That is what is throwing you off. Here's what I recommend, if you want to try shifting like your hubby with no clutch. Start off with partial clutching. I have a video on that. Pull it out of gear with no clutch, and then clutch it into the next gear. A word of caution though. This is essentially floating, and it will need to be much faster than your normal "double clutch" shift. I'd be interested to see how you do. Good luck!
Mate without being rude or abusive, you might need to learn a bit more about the Eaton Fuller 18 speed transmission. Single clutching is tawt and recommended for when making compound gear changes going up the box. You should try it, works great.
Perfect better than the guy's, the guys wreck more input shafts on transmission by not using the clutch because the clutch disc splines wear groves in input shaft then they won't slide, then they wounder why they have to replace clutch and input shaft.... 😮
Hi ! well, right, i never used the clutch, rarely ! the clutch is only to get the shifter out of gear and in gear ! trucks trans are not syncronized like cars are ! If you upshift and you re at 1,800 rpm you wanna get in the next gear at 1,300 rpm if there s 500 rpm in between ! don t try entering the gear anywhere else it won t go in even with the clutch ! if you slow down or accelerate it won t be at 1,300 anymore ! lol ya ! i know it s not easy to explain to non drivers ! lol ! 😋🤠
Thanks for the reply. Yes you have to have the rpm’s just right for it to go in gear whether you use the clutch or not. Using the clutch is just my personal preference and I’ve been doing it for 25 years in about 12-14 different trucks/transmissions. I enjoy it!!
I never saw her shift without the clutch one time. I don't know what you are talking about? Must have watched a different video that we all did. Very strange comment...
I think you must have been watching one of my videos. I'm the one who does not use his clutch. Lafonda Jackson always uses her clutch, and neither of us have ever blown a throwout bearing, or a release bearing. Have you been watching my videos again? You bad boy!
@@TheInvincibleOne-t3vno I’m not, I do realize it’s hard to “see” if you’re watching my leg but you can definitely tell I’m using the clutch when I downshift. Honestly I have a very hard time floating the gears and I do always use the clutch 😊

You know what I was thinking since you're letting us watch you s*** you should tell us what are the gears that you're shifting to so you know are you are you skipping or are you going just going
No I did not skip any gears in this video, however I do skip gears when it is going to be easier on my transmission (if I’m loaded going down a hill for example), I will try and put out another video and explain it better in the future 😊 I’m still new to this RUclips thing but not new to trucking (been driving for 24+ years in a variety of different trucks) hopefully I answered your question and thanks for the comment!
I drive a Peterbilt with an 18 speed transmission. I haul sand out of a huge pit. After getting loaded in that soft sand, I will use every gear in low range. With an 18 speed that is ten shifts in low range. Guys with 13 speed transmissions can't shift in this stuff and crawl out in low or 2nd gear because a 400 RPM split bogs very quickly in this stuff. I used to pull Super B Flat Deck Trains and those 18 speeds are fantastic for getting going with a heavy load from the bottom of a valley. 18 speeds are NOT a waste of time at all, but I do understand that guys who lack pro skills prefer auto shift trucks.
@@SternDrivethanks for your comment! You explained it in detail and I have a hard time explaining why I shift the way I do…currently I haul reefer but I drove a milk tanker for 17-18 years picking up milk around some very tricky Amish farm driveways…the more gears the better in my opinion 😊
I don’t ride the clutch, my mom trained me to drive in the year 2000-took me one month to get my CDL. Most guys don’t use the clutch because they can’t shift with it. Takes a “real” trucker to use the clutch (sorry you must not be coordinated enough to use it-keep practicing and you’ll get better!! 😂)
I would change her throw out bearing instead rebuilding transmission. I bought a truck with a chewed up last two gears 9spd trans from incorrect shift timing, still works but a pain. I do use some clutch in extreme soft condition to make sure there's a ( full ) gear engagement otherwise a violent jump out can occur, did buy a trans for parts with a massive hole. My knees would not clutch all gears except twin stick light clutch on main trans no clutch auxiliary.
