![]() ![]() The driver uses second, third, fourth, and fifth, then splits up into high range.The easiest way to become familiar with the 18 speed is to practice shifting in an H pattern. When I am shifting in the high range (5, 6, 7 & 8 ).when I'm going between the low end of the gears & the high end of the gears do I shift it at the same RPM's as the whole gears? In other words say for sake of argument a good shifting point for the gears is 1600 rpm.The 18 speed transmission is laid out in an ‘ H’ pattern. ![]() Yes you can when empty or very light, but again its not recommended.ģ) Are there any other differences other than the obvious between a 13-speed & a 10-speed. ![]() You are correct, once you split a gear up or down just let go of accelerator and it'll shift on its own (i would recommend using a clutch on your test drive with an instructor) Thanks again & safe travel's!!!!ġ) Once I shift into 5th and I'm on the low side of 5th.when I'm ready to go to the high side of 5th I flip the side switch to the front and as far as the pedals go do I just depress the accelerator to break torque and then press it down again or do I also utilize the clutch as well?up When I go from say 5 low to 5 high do I depress the accelerator pedal at 1600 and then press it again to shift it?Įveryone on here has been so helpful in the past couple months since I started my professional driving journey and combined with you guys & gals and what I've seen and did both in school, the internet and hopefully with Armellini I can't wait to get started. When I am shifting in the high range (5, 6, 7 & 8 ).when I'm going between the low end of the gears & the high end of the gears do I shift it at the same RPM's as the whole gears?

And if you can do you leave the side switch in the low position?ģ) Are there any other differences other than the obvious between a 13-speed & a 10-speed. When I am shifting in the high range (5, 6, 7 & 8.when I'm going between the low end of the gears & the high end of the gears do I shift it at the same RPM's as the whole gears? In other words say for sake of argument a good shifting point for the gears is 1600 rpm. My third question is are there any other differences other than the obvious between a 13-speed & a 10-speed. My second question is can you bypass the high/low ranges on the high side and just straight shift gears 5, 6, 7 & 8 like you would on a 10-speed? And if you can do you leave the side switch in the low position? I most likely won't be shifting that way on my company road test just curious. Here's my first question? Once I shift into 5th and I'm on the low side of 5th.when I'm ready to go to the high side of 5th I flip the side switch to the front and as far as the pedals go do I just depress the accelerator to break torque and then press it down again or do I also utilize the clutch as well? I'm realizing once I am in the high range of gears 5, 6, 7 & 8 the side selector needs to be pushed back to get ready to go into the low range of the next gear. Then flip the main selector up to go into high range after I shift into 4th & before I shift into 5th. Now I gather that the first 4 gears I will go thru just like the 10-speed I was famaliar with. I noticed there is an extra switch on the side I will call (for sake of argument) the side switch as well as the main front selector switch I will call (for sake of argument) the main switch. Now watching some you tube videos it doesn't seem to be all that different then the 10-speed I shifted. The problem is in school I practiced on an Eaton Fuller 10-speed which I managed to figure out after the third 2 hour session. So being that they are described as the most common and popular transmissions I'm sure Armellini has them in there prostar's. The research I've done on the trucks says they have Eaton Fuller 13-speeds. Excited to get started except for one thing that has me a little nervous. They run International Pro-Star's and they look quite nice. I wasn't really sweating it until I did some research on there trucks. So I have an interview with Armellini Express Lines in Palm City, Fl on Monday (7/15/13) and it will include a road test. ![]()
