The way he explained isn’t wrong but when it comes to downshifting you don’t have to worry about the high/low selector it’s best to just keep it in low for quick downshifting.

So you can down shift like a 10 speed?

@@samirastone2479 pretty much or basically 8-speed in that aspect. Heck even when driving a 13 speed when empty you don't really have to use the selector as long as you push a little higher rpms before shifting, just shift it like its basically only got 8 speeds.

Thanks for sharing. I'm able to understand the concept after watching your video. My husband owns a 13 speed semitruck, I received my license recently and he asked me to watch your video as many times necessary before I'm allowed to get behind the steering wheel of my "own semi"!...I love him to death, he is thinking about safety😉

Should ask him about the super 10

I’ve seen a few instructional videos on 13 speed rigs yours by far is exactly as you say straight to the point nothing overwhelming and no bullshit no smoking no cussing no annoying background noise no barking dog no filth no trash clean floors very professional

Thank you. I drove a 10 speed for awhile but about to do a 13 speed an this was helpful an straight to the point. Also liked how you explained downshifting too. Was actually a great efficient an fast explanation, thank you. This shouldn't be a problem for me seeing this.

Thank you for this video. This helps explain it a little better to me, and helps me freak out a little less going from a super 10 to a 13 after 6+ years of not driving.

Thank you so much. I’m about to buy my first truck and it’s a 13 speed. I’ve researched and searched and this is the first video that someone actually walked us thru it step by step gear by gear. Appreciate it

Don’t Move the transmission are garbage!! They shift when it wants to shift not when it’s best. Even if you can manually shift, it will go right back to the gear it wants...they’re a nightmare to drive

Your video is absolutely perfect. You showed not only how to shift but to downshift. I’ve been looking at different videos to try to find someone to explain and you did it all. Thank you for making this fantastic video

Thanks for sharing. Gonna drive a 13-speed tomorrow for the first time ever

very good detailed and precise video bro...anyone with common sense will definitely appreciate this

I was unable to know how these 13 speed shifter works. I came to know when I watched your short 13 speed knowledge-based video. You're highly appreciated for your helpful video. I watched a lot videos about it, but yours was so simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much. More videos about trucking was helpful.

Excellent video , I watched yesterday 4 times slowly. Woke up this morning and jumped into a 13 speed I’m delivering. It worked like a charm …

i watch this video twice and i got it never drove 13 speed thank you bud it really helped me 100%

@@martinwiebe125 gain speed gain bump lose speed lose bump. Downshift 1 gear and you should be giving it a 400 rpm bump. Go down 2 gears and your giving it 800 rpm bump. That’s only on flat ground though. Going up hill you’ll lose speed quickly so you’re gonna give it 200 lower rpm bump. Going down hill you’ll gain speed quickly so you’re gonna give it 200 more rpm bump.

WOW, Crazy shifting patterns. Very impressive! Hi Ron you are “The Smokey & The Bandit.” Yummy you were at 22 years young and still going strong today! You Love Machine! 💋

Thanks for the video. I am currently driving my 9 speed and tomorrow the conversion to 13 speed (transmission swap) will be completed. I was afraid of switching because I learned on a 10, and then bought and drove a 9 because it was simple. I can see now I need the splits and the final overdrive so I'm excited about the future.

I used to drive a dump truck that was a 8 speed or 9 speed depending if you can’t low gear, so 13 speed is the same way as the 8(9) speed but with the red button in the side to select low high. Easy and very good simple video thank you!!

Love the explanation. Some of the other ones show them just shifting and not explaining anything.

And dont push the clutch to the floor when you shift, cooks the clutch brake and makes it so when you put it in gear from a stop it grinds like it did in this video.

its the same pattern as the 18speed but the 18 has a splitter on the low gears

@peterfredyma3257

4 жыл бұрын

Yes ty that's the difference 18 speed can split on low side as well ....

I couldn't find a video that showed it step by step and not confuse me half way. Thank you for the video.

That was probably one of the better video's I've seen in along time. Tks and post any other trucking experience you are willing to share.

Great video. Thanks for explaining this in a very simple form. 🤘

I just bought a 2010 387 yesterday and they said it was a 10 speed. No numbers on the shifter knob. Had been almost a year since driving so I assumed I was just messing up and not remembering the speeds for the gears. Realized it had a splitter and found your video - what a relief! Now I gotta get out and see if I can shift it right! Splitter was in low and I kinda thought my RPS's were a little high for cruising at 70 MPH. I was thinking that of course it rolls easy without a trailer...

Best video ive seen explaining a 13 speed

I was always curious about how those transmissions worked, I finally know? thank you very much sir

Great explanation. Nothing beats actually physically shifting on down the road, though.

thank you sir for your teaching it really help me a lot

Thank you for helping me understand shifting of an 13speed. Now all I need to do is practice.

Hey thank you. I am about to start a new job on a 13 speed and I've only driven a 10 speed so this was very enlightening and much appreciated!

Thank you, I always had doubts on how to shift on big trucks

This was the best video explaining this stuff.

Simple and easy way to explain. thanks for your patience to explained. 5 stars video.👍

Nice overhead view and explanation. Well done, thx.

best video i seen thus far. .

Thank you for the video drove my first 13 speed today with ease

wow was well explained,thanks bro.somebody tryed to teach me how but i didnt get it untill now

Thank you my brother...the best video on how to shift, am going on my 1st solo run with a manual

Thank you for a straight forwards explanation without the fluff

I have my CDL but sadly got the auto restrict (company I went to for learning only uses autos so only trained us on autos).. but back home and wanting to use manual on ATS so got a shifter.. wanted to know how to do it.. you helped thank you! haha stay safe out there!

Nice to see this explained in line with oem instructions 👍

i've been driving a cascadia day cab for so long I needed a gear pattern refresher for a new job with real trucks. Thanks.

Thanks bro u made it simple and easy awesome tutorial thanks man

Thanks for the video it's almost identical to the super 10 as far as the pre-select. I'm going to be transitioning from these two transmissions

Getting ready to drive a 13 for the first time used your video as a crash course on if so basically I gather a 13 is a 18spd but you can't split the low end 👌🏻

Thank you very much other videos don’t show how to downshift but you have a new subscriber and a like

Ty. Out of all the videos of people showing you this yours is the best one brother thank you.

Great explanation and video

The best video I have seen thanks bud

Thanks you very much for this tutorial. I just bought a truck with a Cummins N14 and Eaton 13, I will be practicing on the bush

By far the best explanation ever

Thank you!! It's gonna take practice. Just got hired on 13/18, and all I have ever driven in 8 years of driving is 10 speeds...

You know, I watched this video before and forgot that I needed to use the splitter for 5th and up. Just got put in a 13 speed roughly 3 hours ago and kept asking myself what was I doing wrong. Now I know after refreshing my memory with your video.

Man still confusing. Guess I'm just gonna have to hit the road and hope for the best.

Hopefully I'll remember this for tonight.

Perfect way to explain , thanx mate.

very good and easy explanation thank you

was a biggg help bro ...thank u....

amazing explanation thanks alot

They said they're gonna give me time, and I was also told (accurately) that I could treat the 18 like a modified 8 speed... and it works but... loaded its not gonna work that well... so gonna practice this.

awesome vid. straight to the point without the bullshit talk. good stuff.

Thanks for the info.

I drove 13 speed in CDL school but never used the red splitter on the side. But as a professional driver 10 speed. I used the 13 on the state test because it was fewer gears than the 10 speed.

Thank you for this information. I am still on clear about a couple of things. I have been driving a 10 speed truck for many years and they just put me in a 13 speed. So when using years one through five, should be high/low switch always be in a certain position? And you do not need the clutch at all when using the high/low selector right?

Thank you sir and great job

great video i think I have it down packed now... thanks

Great explanation

Thank you sir, ur video helped me out alot

Good job this video helped me alot!

Thanks bud this really helped out

Thank you very good explaining

Thanks for the refresh course I appreciate it.

Your instructions were for a 13-speed overdrive. Lo/Hi is the same as Direct/Overdrive. However, one time, I had to drive Penske rental for a day. Climb into the cab, much to my surprise it was a 13-speed underdrive. It was underdrive/direct😊

very well explained , bravo.

I assume you're not using the clutch because I see that your left foot remains on the ground. If you were using the clutch would anything change? this was real helpful to me I've been driving a 10-speed Sterling for the last 4 months and tomorrow I got to drive a Kenworth that has the red split on the side and have never used it before. I got someone trying to explain it to me but this was the best I've seen so far, thank you so much

Great ! Thanks , Matt 😀

Finally understood it thanks
