gumbyz13 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Craziness...Granny shifting - not double clutching like he should. Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 13/18 spds nowadays have an air powered splitter on the side of the shifter. 18 spd you can shift all half gears, 250rpm split, or you can not use the splitter and shift whole gears bout 500rpm split. A 13 has 5 whole gears on the bottom and then you can split the top 4 into 8. This came about in the 60s early 70s. The 2 stick method was the norm before the splitter was invented. One of those sticks is the splitter. Gear patterns could be quite confusing! Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Craziness...Granny shifting - not double clutching like he should. No way would you double clutch all day long!! That wears out the clutch and there is no need for use of the clutch except for starting and stopping. 95% of truckers do not double clutch. That does not mean we don't know how to do it. There is a use for it every now and then Quote Link to comment
