Introduction to a couple of 8-speed gearboxes WITH PICS

J400cbs:
I’ve not driven a 4 over 4 since passing my test. Am I right I thinking that you can pull away in 3rd with an empty load but use 1st and 2nd when fully loaded?

I’ve found if unladen in the yard you can pull off In 5th without too much hassle.
Often use 3rd to start then flick up and straight into 5th. Mostly though I go 2/4/5/6/8 if pulling off. After first five mins I quite enjoy the manuals, easier to gently reverse up to the dock than some auto that go from nothing to 5mph straight away!
