As the student in the video here is my very long POV. (Keep in mind I’m a total noob, so my truck shifting comments might not be even 70% accurate).
I started driving manual at 13 on a Renault and VW bus, I’ve been driving probably 60% of my lifetime mileage with manuals and still ride a motorcycle where I can do clutchless shifting (not a habit but I can do it)
The problem I think I have is muscle memory. You are taught in a car to always fully engage the clutch, shift quickly in one movement and almost toss the shifter into gear. From first to second you usually don’t let go of the shifter and the pattern is mostly a standard “H” with a hard gate on the right and spring gate for reversing on the left. If you want to shift down you let go of the throttle press the clutch and shift it from gear to neutral to gear without ever stopping. The clutch is soft, usually hydraulic or with a very soft spring and in a very ergonomic position.
The double clutch is similar to a car. But it is not the same
The clutch is hard. Think early 70s Ford pickup. the shift points are closer than anything in a pickup, RPM’s are very, very low. You shift from third to fourth at 1200 RPM, if you’re not within maybe the 200 RPM range it grinds. You have to engage the clutch fully only when stopped, and the clutch is not at an even height with the brake (stroke is at least 40% longer than a car). When you double clutch you only press it in less than an inch and your foot is floating in the air, so after 10 or so movements you start to lose strength and at least I tend to compensate by pushing harder and therefore further (this is subconsciously), in the split second you realize it, you are at the wrong RPM and grinding.
When you downshift in a car you let go of the throttle and shift. In the truck you tap the clutch, take it to neutral, release the clutch, rev it up a few hundred RPM’s then tap the clutch again as you shift down. This is easier said than done. (Your muscle memory says “if you are slowing down why are you trying to accelerate”)
Shifting from fifth to sixth involves selecting the high gear lever first. Clutching to neutral, moving the shifter past a spring mounted gate and down to sixth. (Pattern in a car would be like shifting from 4th to reverse past a spring gate) again muscle memory in a car tells you “you are shifting the wrong direction for a higher gear” the millisecond where you realize it, you already missed the RPM’s and are grinding.
As somebody else mentioned, in a car you seat yourself to get a good view of the road. In the truck you do it to get a better ergonomic position for the pedals (I’m 1.82M/5’11) so by getting high up for a good view off the hood my legs position was bad (Junior already corrected me on that)
In my specific case, my experience knowing how to shift in a car for 37 years is actually a negative.
I’ve got a great and PATIENT teacher who I’m confident will whip me into shape, and I look forward to learning as much as I can.
YES we are bobtail in this video 🇭🇳👍🏽😎👍🏽🇭🇳
Sergio no one learned over night l learned on a b61 mack with a 5 speed and 2 threespeed auxiliaries 3 sticks 29gears ahead and 4 back and I was 13 driving fully loaded log trucks if you get a chance look on u tube at driving a 5and 4 two stick these take real talent, you will figure that 10 out sooner or later practice makes perfect. I started at 13 I am 56 still at it.best of luck. you got a great teacher.
You doing better than me when I started... stay positive always
I was just wondering because you aren't the first student from Juniors videos that I have seen do that. I'm not a trucker.......yet. I am trying to pick out what different people are experiencing so that when I join the Prime Inc team, I'll at least have an idea of what to look for and how to self correct. Being a military career man, I tend to prepare myself as much as I can before I jump into something. I do respect the fact that you fixed yourself very quickly and proficiently though.
@@JuniorHonduras Junior, I have a question for you. When I do decide to join the Prime Inc team, do I have to do all of the testing with a reefer trailer even though I plan on going flatbed?
I remember going through the same things yrs back, all newbies need to know that not all new drivers are going to learn at the same pace. Some may get it on the 1st day, others may get it after a few days or weeks. Never be so hard on yourself and think its not for you and give up. Learn to be patient and itll all come with time.
I have tried and tried but never had the time to learn on a manual. I got my class A in an auto just to get started on my experience and now I am watching all these videos prepping to get the manual endorsment
I am starting school very soon and as a person driving automatic forever i am not looking forward to it. I can get frustrated quickly and really dont like learning new systems in general so this is even more concerning
@@anthonyfracchiolla2268 It takes a lot of patience to be a truck driver. Traffic jams while you are trying to reach your drop or pickup, bad roads, people passing you, then cutting right in front of you to take a get off ramp, bad directions from your dispatch (Qualcomm and GPS has pretty much taken care of this) , any one of these can be frustrating if you let it. Good luck and keep your chin up!
@@garyjubar5733 I can tell you OTR is not for me. I know I would get frustrated including cut offs. It is local or nothing
I tried forever to drive a manual and I just couldn’t do it no matter what I did. Some of just can’t get it and that’s ok. I took the auto restriction with no issues.
This guy already did way better than I did I got my training permit yesterday. Today our class was introduced to the yard and for a added bonus we got to do straight backing maneuvers for the very 1st time I literally abused the hell out of that clutch. I'll be getting my gear training in 3 days this video was very helpful
I feel the students pain I had so many problems when I first started a 10 speed. I hadn't even drove a manual car before so it can be stressful. You will get it just keep practicing
You are very professional you make the learners not feel like they failed.
I start school Monday, I hope I get a traimer like him.
First day on manual training is called “Bump and Grind day”.
When i was in trucking school, i had two students in my truck that was still trying to shift by flailing the shifter around until it went into some gear at week three; one of them actually managed to go into reverse while moving at 3 mph foward.
“Can’t find it grind it”
That double clutch is harder to learn from is better to float it
I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind. Well at least that’s what R Kelly said 🤷🏾♂️
@@watcher206 That’s why he’ll never be a true real trucker. I hope he found a new profession because trucking isn’t for him.
Instead of cluch clutch..i will say clutch Neutral clutch gear , clutch neutral clutch gear, clutch neutral clutch gear...you are great and so patient..i watch all ur videos👍👍👍👍
I did the same thing when i was in cdl school
That's how I was taught in CDL school clutch neutral clutch gear and at 1500 RPMs
Thank you for this comment! I was wondering what the rhythm was! Studying before I go to school.
Yes, that represents a more realistic rhythm for shifting. It’s a slow rhythm that allows these massive flywheels to slow down so that the engine and tranny are at the same pace for the higher gear. Same thing with downshifting but your adding throttle to slowly get that engine up to speed to match the pace of the lower gear.
I think this is why the industry is going automatics at most freight companies. All this clutching looks exhausting to be honest. Not to mention dangerous for all rookie drivers.
It’s true. Trucking is mentally draining enough. Adding manual shifting is just another thing to worry about.
Not only that, but the cost of repairing a worn clutch is turning more companies towards automatics, as well as better fuel mileage.
Think I'd rather have a stick. Far better control over your rig. It's not that hard to learn to clutch and shift -- we've been doing it forever.
@@ElyzoBates ya sound lazy
@@robp4616 you might feel that way but the automatic does have a gear shifter too. Honestly automatic is better
It took me 10-15 minutes to start learning how to double clutch even though id still grind gears. Never drove a manual ever before. Id definitely recommend teaching them in a yard and without a trailer thats how i learned
Thanks for typing this it gives me a boost. I've never been able to learn manual not from lack of wanting but the couple of men my family knew that did try because I showed so much interest as a kid but they'd freak out and stop as soon as the first timer grinded first few times trying to learn lol. I hear its better to though to start new if you want to double clutch otherwise you get the same muscle memory issue this guy has to fight.
@@StonedWolf666 yea a guy i went to cdl school with knew how to drive manual in a car and he had more trouble learning. But yea ive been driving a truck for 3 months now first company i hired onto gave me 6 weeks of training , $200 a day
Junior his problem is that he’s not doing it fast enough. And to solve that problem make him go a little bit over 1,200rpms. Maybe shift at 1.3-1.4k rpms that way the rpms fall down to 1,200 when he’s shifting into gear.
EXACTLY!
How no to thought 💭 I was the only one ☝️ that noticed.
@@tobinichols1389 You both can point all this out but Junior probably wont listen because he's been driving along time but you never know, worth a try I guess.
BackWoods NW I’m nervous 😬 I start cdl training this Monday at my technical college 😭😭😭
@@tobinichols1389 Dont be nervous man, the hardest thing is memorizing everything to pass the written test other than that driving is easy unless your not good driver to begin with honestly. You got this dont be nervous, nothing to be nervous about. You might be feeling the butterflies of doing something new & not knowing if it's going to be worth it. Trust me trucking is worth it, you can make a bunch after 1-2 years experience & trucking will change your life. Just stay positive, study the test & pay attention when your driving at all times if you can. I understand changing the radio or drinking something, etc. while driving just be careful take it slow & you got this, good luck to you hope this helps a bit, take care! 👍👍🙏👋✌💯
Easy way to know which gear you are in is to add the number on speedometer for example 25mph 2+5 =7 so you are in 7th gear. 35mph 3+5=8 so you are in 8th gear. Remember all the numbers end in 5 so 15,25,35,45,55.
So when u doin 55 do u switch it to 9 gear
Thanks
What if the truck is 6 speed?
@@alexisrivers5806 10th gear
@@alexisrivers58065+5 =10 so you change it to 10th gear…….
Double clutching is hard. Your left foot and right hand have to work together in perfect timing. Plus you have to remember what gear you're in, focus on what what gear you have go into next, all while monitoring your speed, RPMs, lights, traffic, white and yellow lines, braking distance, etc. Not an easy task.
I know today was my first day. I was horrible smh
@@hulkdeisel Only way to get better is practice.
My trainer wouldn't stfu every nano second I did something wrong...bugged the hell out of me. I told him just sit there and let me get the feel of the truck and gears and clutch...he kept quiet and by the end of the drive I could shift without grinding. Shit so annoying when trainers object to every little thing.
What do you think you were doing wrong that you kept grinding?
Exactly. They act like your gonna blow something up.
Dude compared to my instructor. This instructor explains everything perfect and has so much patience. Good teaching man
Dude I hate my instructor he’s always yelling and makes me feel more nervous 😬
I agree about my instructor compared but I think if he revs it to 1500 it may be easier to shift
You know since I've been watching you guys trucker videos I have a new respect for truckers. Even when I'm driving on the road I give them space and I don't speed around or anything crazy like that. and now I know why they go so god damn slow! The general public has no idea the crap truckers have to put up with to keep that big shit going lol
Hes doing it carefully junior has patience
well remember they can not go fast because of the loads but more importantly tickets for them do more damage
Whatever you do, just don't pull out in front and slam on your brakes.
AMEN TO THIS COMMENT!!!
Definitely speed in front of truckers. Like get out the way as fast as possible. You're better going ahead than trying to "help" the driver out .
INSTRUCTOR IS VERY POLITE AND RESPECTFULL . MY INSTRUCTUR YESTERDAY AT THE SCHOOL WAS A DOUCHEBAG. I WAS DRIVING A STICK SHIFT ON THE SEMI FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME BUT HE WAS PANICIING AND SCARED THAT I WOULD ROLLOVER SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. ALL HE WAS DOING IS YELLING AND SCREAMING OUT OF HIS LUNGS. AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO I AM CONFIDENT THAT I WILL DO BETTER NEXT TIME. HOPEFULLY. KEEP IT UP BUDDY. TRUCKING SCHOOLS NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU. 5 STARS FROM ME.
Same smh
Having a trainer like JH that understands that we are rookies learning makes all the difference
Great videos. This really helps people who are not truck drivers understand and appreciate what goes into driving!
“Grind and Find” Junior is probably the most patient man I have seen.
El Tigre if you can’t find it grind it!
And C then just replace it a few times n ur gucci
I need this guy to teach me! Today was my 1st day driving the truck and my instructor just seemed so frustrated whole time.
Did u learn?
Float em I mess up more often trying to double clutch than when I float them. Sometimes you have to use the clutch winde it out to far or whatever. No matter what if you don’t match speed to gear and load it anit going to shift
Same here bro, 2nd day of learning & dude already threatened to kick me out.
Dude first time as well instructors yelling at me im like yoo its my first time chill
It sounds like every single one of your trainers shouldn't be trainers. Yelling, screaming, getting frustrated is not the way to teach. That's also a reason in my opinion why many students refuse to or have severe apprehension to driving a manual. Some trainers have the training mentality. Some do not. The same goes for trainees.
He’s teaching him like a pro shifter, new students should go to 1700 rpm to give them time to DOUBLECLUTCH it’ll go in right like butter. I’m a 10 year owner operator out of ports trust me. I know what I’m talking about, and you literally just need to tap the clutch it’ll disengage and tap to slide in but do it at 1700 rpm for new students to give them time, because between 1000-1500 rpm is the sweet spot to change gears.
A trainer told me while at home,,sit on a chair and use a plunger,,and repeat double clutch and move the plunger back and forth,,for about half hour,,,,everyday,,before taking a test,,,it helped me alot to time it,,
LOL
Double clutch it’s stupid that’s how you are going to fuk up the clutch
Same thing I was told an it works to help with gear pattern and rhythm
@@staceyg.3004 I use to do that too and now my toilets are clog free. 🤦♂️
Most companies and thier trucks automatic nowadays.
Junior, many people watching the videos may have never (or limited experience with manual). Could you film yourself doing some shifting at the beginning of these student videos for about 30 seconds or so; maybe talking through some of the process as you do it before having the student take over? It would provide some point of reference while watching the student as they struggle through the process. Great videos btw. cheers.
I second this idea Junior! :)
Ok I will do that 👍🏽
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
This student was absolutely lucky to have an instructor like you🤙
As someone that learnt non synchro a bit over a year ago, you're confusing him by adding too many variables at once. Just teach him to shift at set RPMs (1200 down, 1500 up or whatever the optimal range is for the truck) and not worry about what gear is what speed at first. Once he learns how to shift without thinking about it, then add in the concept of X gear for X speed.
Damn I was lucky enough to pick it up the first time, even started downshifting on my first day.
JH, thanks for demonstrating the patience that a great trainer should have and having the student correctly repeat the processes of shifting. Great video!
Telling him to be “quicker” is making him hit the clutch “harder” which is making him bottom out the clutch and engage the clutch brake. Nothing will syncronize when you drop that clutch to the floor while moving.
Great teacher here. My instructor yelled at me, grabbed the stick, made clown ass comments and other crap. I have never driven a manual of any sort.
Dang that sucks. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍🏽
love how junior trains. very stern but patient. 👍🏾
Hell I've been at it 15 years and still grind a gear daily
We all do at least you're honest about it..
ahhh man thanks for making it easier
I still grind sometimes too...most of the times I float
ouch
Lousy gearbox oil? :)
Boy this took me back.
Dad (God rest him) had an HVAC business I worked for during summers as a kid. At the time, I thought I was "Ayrton Senna" the way I could boss around my RX-7's 5 speed. Well... day 1 driving the HVAC van... it was a "three-on-the-tree" shifter. Brought this F1 driver right back down to earth. I shifted it so bad, I locked up the tranny (or maybe it was just ready to quit... I don't know) my first week driving it.
Anyways, Junior is a patient teacher. Hope his student reads the good comments here and sticks with it.
Everybody is new at the beginning.
When I went to school long time ago..my instructor told me him the addams family song when it got to snap your fingers part that's my shifting/ clutching time frame.. that did it I was golden after that😁 refrence point I guess.. you do a kick ass job with these students btw👍
Im remember that
Not sure if anyone else has been told this but think of the Adam's family theme song and the snaps. (Snap, snap) Thats how fast you should tap the clutch, neutral, release the clutch tap the the clutch shift into gear release. This helped me when I was learning.
Yup I just started school & my teacher mentioned the same thing
Big respect man, Great teacher this dude will recommend people to your trucking school,you can make real truck driver
Dude you got me double pumping my living room floor right now watching this. LoL
Lol, don't get used to it being that 99% of the companies are now using automatics #facts 👍🏽
Man you’re awesome I’m starting school in a week and you have shown me so much in a month thank you for your videos
Junior, you're a great teacher! Good job!
This is all too familiar lol i got mine 2 months ago and here rewatching just to stay humble💯
Junior you are the best bro. Ur patient is amazing.
Wow I remember being in his shoes . Patience and practice .
Great job!! Wait until the day it all comes together and the "💡" turn on in your head. Ohhh what a great feeling it will be. Keep it up!!!!
Learning stick is very hard at first. Props
Patience of a saint!
I don't miss these days for nothing I was shitting bricks everytime I stepped in the truck grinding stalling and all 😂
My first time driving was yesterday and this comment really makes me feel better about having nerves.
@@jc2630 lmaoooo I recently quit after 7 years of trucking welcome to the trucker life my friend all I will say is enjoy it don’t get lost in the truck see the world
Thank you for this. I do appreciate seeing how someone else is learning for the first time. It helps give me hope that I can do it too. Thanks to the instructor for his patience for those of us who may not get it immediately!
I'm glad it helped you and thank you for watching 👍🏽
Tomorrow is my first day learning how to shift ever....a little nervous but obviously everyone has to start somewhere. Perfect timing for me to watch these videos! Thanks for the vids Junior!
About to start school in April here. I feel like they expect us to already know how to shift a manual before starting. How did it go for you?
How long did it take u to fully learn. It’s been 1 year now please respond
@@HPX584 it took me about 5-6hrs practicing in empty parking lots, just learning how to shift before I could get on the road. Once on the road you’ll have plenty of stalls and missed gears but with each day you get better I’d say after a month I was fluent enough to take the driving exam. Once it clicks in your mind what you’re doing you’ll be fine
@@MrDiamondDahlia did u take the test with the trailer as well? How is that during the driving test must be a little nerve racking lol
@@HPX584 to be honest at that point you kind of know how to turn well with a trailer and you’re trailers empty. So you don’t have to worry about bogging down the engine if you’re in the wrong gear or not great with the clutch. The main thing I was worried about was the maneuverability because I wasn’t as good at backing up. You’ll get it don’t worry, as soon as everything clicks in your mind about driving a truck you’ll be fine. Lol
This video had me all excited like when i first learned how to shift!!! I know those grinding days very well lol 😂 with consistent practice it’ll come easy. I actually loved practicing shifting while in school i kinda miss it.
Teach me
Yesterday was my first time shifting in school.. Cant wait to do it again
The fastest way the students will pick it up is tell them to add the numbers And that's what gear u should be in works wonders 15 miles hour 6 gear 25 mph 7th gear
He did pretty good for his first day and for his first time shifting a manual and he will get better I know he will it just takes practice and practice makes perfect and can't wait for the next video and keep up the great work yall have fun and be safe out there god bless yall and see yall next video
I have helped a few guys learn the clutching by having them announce the simple process, "clutch out of 1st", (release), "clutch in to 2nd". It helped the guys I helped. They got trained at the cheapie training truck scool. It's sad when those guys pay that much and you teach them it's about 5 mph/gear for the lower set of gears, flip to the upper set then 10mph/gears, and they say WOW and it's the stuff they should have learned it in the first hour behind the wheel. Have a good day Junior.
I did 400,000 miles in a car with a five speed manual transmission and about 30,000 on a motorcycle before I tried trucking.
I think the experience helped a lot, but a non-synchomesh transmission was still something tricky. Double clutching , clutch braking,and pedals too far apart to heel/toe ?!
Hearing and feeling how much to blip the throttle when downshifting got a big smile out of my trainer. The time on the sport bike made me a natural in a truck.
The most useful experience I had before the truck, was backing up trailers at the lake for the rich guys with big boats who couldn't handle their pickups in reverse with a trailer.
I made $5 a shot backing boats down the ramp when I was 15 and I made enough to buy my first car over three summers. As a result, backing up a trailer feels very natural to me.
Pro Tips... Start with your hands at the bottom of the steering wheel to develop an intuition for how the trailer will react. The inputs are the same for a big truck...they are just bigger.
If you buy a car or truck with a manual transmission, there will be very few kids who will know how to steal it. You can park in the city and the car thieves will just walk right on by.
I'm living here in Jamaica. Planning to start driving school soon and junior am telling u you've been a great teacher bro
Junior, you got some Patience Papi...wow..Amazing and professional!
Congratulations to you both for making it through students first lesson....both of you exhibited great patience and skills. it was great to see how challenging it can be to learn this skill set. Tough when you both under pressure...Junior you are impressive!!
What helped me is to pre stage the shifter by holding it towards the next gear (really towards neutral) and then when pushing clutch in it just falls into neutral and you continue pushing it to next gear and clutch again quickly and it goes in
my first car at 16 was a manual. when I started training in a truck it was a piece of cake 🍰
With FlyingColors
Hell I had a three speed International Cub Cadet lawn an garden tractor. Never meant to be speed shifted...I did it!
Then I got a Datsun 610.. 4 on the floor baby!
When I first started learning how to drive, my dad threw his truck keys at me and told me that if I destroyed his transmission that I had better not come home. His truck was a manual, and my mom went with me because my dad didn't have the patience. I don't know if it was me being a fast learner, or the shear terror of a possible pending death, but I took his truck out and got it back home in one piece.
Yes..I was 10 when I first drove a manual. Yes it's much easier when you learn on a car first.
Just down have to down shift a car
I think the truck is a lot easier compared to a stick in a car
Muy buen video junior, eres muy paciente y buen maestro, aquí seguiré esperando las notificaciones para los próximos videos y ver el avance de tu estudiante. Saludos desde Perris, California 🤘🏽
“Grind it till u find it baby” words of wisdom from my trainer 😂
I want to thank you for this video. I am very nervous about driving manual. I’m going for a career change from warehouse to driving. Going for the CDL in the fall. Anxious but excited.
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍🏽
I have never driven manual, I drove a van for Amazon. I know it’s a completely different ballgame but I’m determined to learn so I’m gonna be signing up in the fall as well 💯
@@primitxve8076 Good luck! Hope to see you in the road.
This was very helpful, watching someone learn has you correct them til doing it better
95% of the semis at UPS are now automatic. You still have to learn on a manual but once u get past that. It's normal.. Every semi should be automatic.
I wish all trucking schools focused more on the shifting like this before anything else.
I taught myself how to drive a 10 speed in my living room last week lol. it's amazing what you can teach yourself with a simulator, and the correct simulator equipment. truck driving schools are using simulators now too. I'm not saying I could just jump in a truck and drive it, but I got the basics down anyway lol.
I've used a simulator as well, and I found it to be much easier than the actual truck IRL lol.
@@voidcheque7019 where do you get the simulator at
@@yourname9881 truck school
Hahahaha!!!!
Student: They learned manual pretty fast
Junior: It’s an automatic that’s why!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆😆😂😂😂😂
Lol
Double-cluching is very easy. Get the rpms to 1500 and double stab the clutch quickly before your rpms get to 1000 rpms. While you use two quick jab steps (only going down two inches into clutch); shift to neutral then shift to gear. Do it quickly before the needle drops too far and you will never grind a gear.
So rpm sweet spot is 1200 to 1500 within that range?
I need a teacher with this guys patience!
What you should have done, was show him the sweet spot on the clutch. Once he knows where it is, then he won’t need to push the clutch in so far. When the student knows the sweet spot, shifting will be easier.
This one of your best vids Junior Honduras. I watched the whole video waiting for you to lose your patience and for the student to get rattled. You stayed calm so he did too.
I drove for the first time today and it was a bad day for me. Struggled with clutching and shifting especially with double clutching. I am a vertically challenged person (short) and that makes it very hard for me smh
How are you doing now?
And why are they teaching you double clutching, where are you located? It seems so unnecessary, every single semi these days has synchro, hell, most are autos
This dude is a helluva good instructor!
Keep up the good work by the end of the day we all been there
Yow bro I like how your teaching, it's really nice, I'm going in next year to master this trailer course
You have a lot patience my brothers keep up the good work! Love your humbleness and kindness.
Excellent trainer. Keep up the good work.
This video makes me wonder if I should buy a 10 speed or an automatic. Next spring I'm buying my own truck but I haven't driven a 10 speed in 2 years. I learned and took my CDL test in a 10 but they gave me an automatic about 6 months later and used Auto ever since. I was damn good though with my 10 speed just now feel like I gotta learn it all over again.
Shifting a sports car 🤣! Respect to him and the instructor the goal should always get better ! 💯
What a great teacher !
Estoy pasando por lo mismo, nunca he maneja un carro manual, hoy fue mi segundo entrenamiento y la verdad me está contando aprender.
Que pasiencia hermano, quiero que tú seas mi maestro
As of today, because I - KNOW, he's gonna get better! He makes me look good! lol
Good job junior.Guys you are hearing that manuals are being done away with in this industry. Not true. Many companies not only have both transmissions there are some that only have manuals. Learn how to drive the manual because if you become an owner operator sticks are cheaper,better for hauling heavy freight,and more reliable.Being able to drive a manual gives you more job options. I trained on a 10 speed Mack in school. Now I drive a 13 speed Freightliner than is a blast to drive.
The good old days, I hated shifting for the first year
God bless him you gotta have super patience for this
Bro 1200 rpm is to lowmfor a newbie. A little more rpm around 1400rpm would help a lot
This dude sucks
💯
Let the fun begins! I teach new drivers almost every week, nice video bro. I still wanna take that freightliner of yours for a spin my man.
Looks like the guy from bobs burgers & beetle juice 😭😂
Im going to be doing this in 2 weeks. Figured I would start learning before I start my day 1 in training and then after i finish that im going to heavy equipment training! So excited!
Great video, this should be a good reason why trucks should continue manufacturing manual transmission. Thank you Junior 🙏🏾
That's a horrible reason. Most wrecks happen in manual trucks.
Find the sweet spot don't let your RPM'S drop pass your shifting if so rev up to find gear take your time
Junior, recuerdale que solo debe de pisar el clutch hasta el fondo cuando esta parado solamente, luego que esta en marcha solo debe de presionar un poco.
24:00 the finally!!!! face lol
Why u used that doble cluch in mi opinion ur confusing I'm. ... explain to me what's the purpose of the double clutch?
That trainer has the patience of a saint.
I still don’t understand why you have to learn the double clutch crap. When I got my class a in 2009 they did it then too, but when I started at a job hauling fuel using a 13 speed I double clutched once and my trainer told me to never ever do it again lol, he even said it was against company policy. So from that day on, I’ve always floated up and down with the engine brake on hi. But this video did bring back some good memories 😅
That was a few years back. Now 99.9% of trucks are automatic 👍🏽
I know but if they take their test in an automatic then they get the restriction on their CDL and can not drive a manual unless they retake the state driving exam in a manual, seems to me you would go to a school and take it on a manual or in a big company situation they should teach drivers to drive manual even if they plan on giving them an automatic, that way if their truck brakes down and the other choice is a manual no harm no foul. That’s just my take
You have a great attitude Junior.
clutch neutral clutch gear. it took me awhile to learn but i learned it.
I’ve driven manual all my life and 😩 it’s hard to break the habit and getting usto double clutch- I start school Monday wish me luck 🍀
I have the same problem I'm in school for my CDL license and I cannot shift
These dinosaur manual transmissions are all going to the junkyard soon. The computers are much more effective than any driver out there. Autos are giving drivers more time for drivers to focus on driving than shifting. These old trucks were a fun drive through.
