You can also shift without the clutch. Use the clutch to start out in first gear. Then asyou near the max.speed in that gear,while easing off the gas pull gently toward the next higher gear,dont take to long to do this or as the truck starts to slow while in neutrel,it will not go into 2nd and so on. Also you can down shit without the clutch.When you want to down shift as you ease off the gas gently push stick into neutrel. Then again while gently easing the stick toward to the next lower gear,slowly increas the RPM's,you will feel the gears touching and as the RPM's match it will go into the next lower gear. This is called :floating: I may not of explained it well but it works.. I do itevery day in a 2008 peterbilt...
GOOD LUCK Bill
