@@jandearlivinglife4433 I've been driving a 13 speed and been learning on my own. Basically it's like an 18. But I'll give the speeds per gear from the 13 that I drive. Gears 1-2 are only starting gears or gears where you lost so much speed you about to stop or roll back. 3rd gear is lowest practical gear where you creeping onto a scale or sum. 3rd is 5 mph. 4th gear is 10 to 12 mph. 5th Low is 15 mph and 5 High going to 25 mph more practical around 18. 6th low is 25 mph at low rpms. 6th High goes to 35. 7th low is 35 to 45 and 7th high is around 45 to 50 mph. Right hand turns are should be the same as in a 18 speed. So clutch and brake and drop here in 4th gear or 5th low. I only ever use 5th high if I didn't catch the gear and it's a slight dip where speed increases. If you making a left turn, 5th L or H should match your speed.

@@andrewterra4938 thank you , I do a driving test tomorrow for 18 speed I am a bit nervous as I have never done splitting gears but I think after watching a lot of videos on here I understand more .

Finally somebody who can explain it in detail and in plain English! You’re a stud!

Out of all the how to videos I’ve seen, this is hands down the best.

I'm about to go from 3 years of a 10 speed to an 18 speed, and this video gave me a good bit confidence, thank you

nice and simple explained. Thank you ! I'm about to go from a 10 speed to and 18 speed. thank you once again !!!

Great video! Best 18 speed tutorial I've seen. Thank you.

Thank you for this training video. It really helped me figure out how to shift an 18 speed transmission. Your video is much better than other videos I watched on KZread. Keep on Trucking and have a fantastic day 🙂.

Thanks KC , great video and explaining . Now I want to give it a try .

This is by far the best video explaining an 18 speed

Great video! For a while I was drivin a 96 westernstar that had a 3406 cat w/ 15 speed eaton. This nice thing about the 15 is for me (Canadian grain hauler) spilling the bottom end makes stop and go traffic easy with 43 metric ton in the box

Thank you for making an actual informative video!

This is the best demonstration I've seen yet...awesome

Great job on video...Wish I was still driving my 18 spd!!!

Great video. I Love my 13 speed. 18 looks fun and really nice for them hills!

This is a real great video KC, thanks a lot. I am going for a garbage hauling job where I’ll be pulling 100,000 plus in an 18 spd and yours is BY FAR the best video I’ve seen. All the best and God bless!

I use to Drive a 10 speed. I loves it. 5 on the floor like a regular stick but with a switch under shifter. Down for low up for high. In city I usually didn't come out of 4th. I loved how on 3rd low then go high she took off. Even towing heavy equipment. I used cluck to engage my gears . I miss driving that truck sometimes. It was a old truck I had to figure out how to drive it with minimal training. Oh the memories.

Unlike the guy with 7.5 mil views, you explained this with way more detail. Thanks for the vid. And you actually went through all the gears.

Learning to tow with a 18-speed this helps a lot thank you...so u don't need to switch from low to high if ur not hauling anything just treat it as a 10 speed but if ur hauling switch low to high when in high gear

Awesome video I was thinking about going back to a stick and I was looking at a 18 speed thanks for the video I learned some new stuff!!!!

I'm only halfway through the video and this is a big help to me. I drive currently a super 10 which isn't necessarily splitting gears but, if you want to say it's like a five-speed pattern and you have to split every gear to get to tenth gear. So this is very similar to that except for the high low switch in the 18 speed. Very nice video I appreciate it.

Awesome teacher, God bless Sir.

Awesome video. Really helped me understand 18spd

waw i just love how every thing is their on dashbord Nice!

Probably the most hopeful video out there!! By the way love all your videos

thank for your time you took to explain it thanks again...

Strange, I watched several videos and this was the one to make me understand. Thank you kind sir

That was very easy for me to follow sir, thank you. I'll try to shift like that on ATS. 👌👌

I've been driving for 41 yrs now and 13sp is high as I ever wanted..I've drove 5sp, 9, 10, 12, & 13.. My favorite has been the 9 speed...Couple yrs ago bossman bought automatics or auto shift/ultra shift, whatever there called.. Definitely gotten to like it pretty good, great fuel mileage...Great video. Sure there is newcomers wanting to know...

YOUR A ROCK STAR.!!! I NEED MORE SEAT-TIME BEFORE I EVEN THINK OF DRIVING A 18 SPEED.

This is so cool. Like when I was little I went with my dad on trips. When I turned 10 he taught me. At 12 he let me haul about 30 ton across the state line. Hey I didnt say it was legal. I said he let me lol. So that's how I learned 18. This brings back memories. Him and i haven't been on a route in a looooong time

Very informational for me !!

Awesome chif thank you for share great knowledge it looks easy but all it's about practice of course my respect .. sometimes I drive 13 and is a mess but like I said all it's about practice thank you

Thank god a normal gear stick .not a pimp stick or wanker stick .thank you buddy be safe out there .hi from brit man in austrailia thank you i do know how to shift most stick shifts but its good to watch

Great video buddy be safe out there

That was hella Kool video explaing all the gears high and low. You'd be a good instructor bro. 👍👍👍

I've only ever used 10 speeds. Rode with a guy who had 18 . He hit 85mph then shifted into 18th and kept digging. The needle stayed on 85mph. Even coasting up small inclines it still stayed on 85mph. Loved it

thank you bro!!!!👍 i see yu on the road!!!

This is the best video I have seen on shifting the 18 speed. Thanks for the video 👍

I have only driven 10 and 13 speeds. But in my short experience being able to split gears in traffic is really helpful.

Wow!!! good tutoring thumbs up man!

So that's how it's done. Well ok then. I've only driven 10 speed but I'm going to look at a truck that's got an 18, this certainly answers my questions. Thanks lol

Awesome video thx man

Cool I don't know anything bout the high low side I've always thought that you just crank the gears up down left right eighteen times hah

Really cool seeing this! I've been learning how to drive trucks with 13 speeds, and didn't realize these are basically the same. Only difference being that you can split the lower range. It's still weird to think though you can go through ten gears without even getting to the high range yet.

Great video, I’m in a 10 spd cascadia. So the splitter is the main difference

I do split 4th when loaded. But I do that for surge. As I haul fuel

And you're right the two ways of downshifting. I think it's quicker to put it out then put it back in. I do it all the time in the super 10.

Boonvegas!!! Nice vid

good bro👌❤

That was always my favorite transmission

Y far the best one watch this one

Great fast explaining

Wow thanks sir.😍😍😍😍

Driven a 10 but hopefully going to a company that only has 18 speeds. I’ve watched all the videos but your was by far the most informative. One thing all the videos forget to teach that is important for rookies learning to drive a manual is knowing the rpms and road speed. One thing I can’t find but I will learn when I’m out there is when down shifting or skipping gears you need to know what speeds will work with such gears. Anyway great video be safe driver!

Great vid

good information

Now thats what i call gear jamming...... real truckng there...

Sweet Pete there, driver!

Nice video 👍🏽

The 6th gear position on a 10 speed is not commonly used by many on an 18 speed bc it mimics the 5th gear position gear ratio (or the 9/10 position on an 18spd.)though it is usable and I like to use it when I’m making some rolling side road turns(treats the 18 like a 20spd, you might say). I like using it bc It keeps me from having to make the long throw to low range 9/10 and I can immediately accelerate and stay in high range w/o the long throw motion back up to 11/12 when I’m accelerating and best in those situations where it’s a little uphill and you might be considering going briefly into low range. When shifting down to the low splitter thumb button position stab the throttle at the same time to increase the rpm’s and she’ll sync in smooth. I was told but not certain that preselecting high and low range before you shift is fine bc it’s air actuated but, what you don’t want to do is pre-select the splitter for longer periods or, try and at least time the split about the exact same time as you’re working the throttle for that shift...don’t let it hold for long. That’s because the splitter unlike the high/range is actuated by an electrical solenoid and it is or can heat up as it is working under electrical current load waiting until you actually apply throttle to release that gear to go to your intended gear. Makes a lot of sense but these are just my 2 cents worth and I don’t ever hear these things addressed in videos much that I’ve seen is why I bring it up. It may be bc it’s a little advanced instruction that one doesn’t have to know and could sound confusing to new drivers viewing this for just the basic operation. What are your thoughts? Also, I wonder how many other drivers like myself like to use their left foot on the brake a little at the same time as they are gearing down while feathering the throttle with their R. foot in order to keep the drive train more stable allowing for smoother, less driveline lash and presumably saving wear and tear on U-joints and other driveline components thru the tendency of load shifting gyrations incurred in the downshifting process?

Good video guys. 👍
