[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 16992226, member: 141815"] I forgot to say one thing in the post above about float shifting a Class 8 truck transmission is doing the things I described above without using the cluch........no double clutching.......only manipulating the throttle with the transmission in neutral to speed up or slow down the gears before moving the stick into the next gear position of your choice without depressing the clutch a second time. After a while you get used to a truck, you can actually drop 4-5 gears in one movement as your skipping through the gearbox. Now don't do this while taking the driver's portion of a test for a CDL........the DMV inspector riding with you will immediately fail you even if you slide the stick into gear without grinding or forcing the sliding clutch and gear together to engage the gear you selected. Government even tells ya how to drive a truck.......yet the DMV inspector couldn't drive the truck if their life depended on it. The two video links are actually the computers doing float shifting for the driver. They have a traditional clutch in them with no linkage for the driver's left foot. The clutch is also actuated by the driver's input on the throttle pedal. once the truck is moving the clutch isn't used for any of the up shifts or down shifts. This coming summer I'll actually get the opportunity to drive a truck with this transmission. I can only imagine how weird this is going to be the first time I drive it. [/QUOTE]
