the day i have to be taught how to use a gearbox is the day i stop driving trucks ( no offence meant tiggz)!!!.
Shame on you Jammy . The number of times we tell Newbies “If you don’t know, ask”. Here you are saying that you are scared to ask .
Its not a case of ME or anyone else being scared to ask its a case of why would a company make a stupid gearbox that you have to be taught to use?. Ok you all say its the best ever i have never driven one nor would i want to BUT why on earth would someone design a gearbox that sounds so complex you have to be shown how to drive it■■?. As if the job isnt hard enough to start with youalso have to fight with a gearbox until you can use it!!!.
As for being a professional and using this gearbox thats ok by me ill stick to being a 10 year newbie with the auto box i have to use, i wonder who would be more stressed at the end of the day though?.
30 seconds to go up the box?, i dont count i just press a pedal and let the computer do the work, set the cruise control to 6mph overspeed and let the computer slow me down on hills suits me just fine :).
When they invent the truck that can steer itself i,ll be the first to want one…
I learnt the Volvo I-Shift in about a second , move the lever to A and press pedal A to go and B to stop, I have driven many many trucks and never had to take an hour to “teach myself” the box.
Apart from the stupid Merc EPS which took me about a month, 2 week of that in neutral!!!.
