I'm currently an apprentice at a truck repair shop, and one of the shop's own trucks we move trailers with is a 6 speed manual FH12. Now I finally know how this works, thank you
Good video to prepare to drive this gearbox I watched it before I went and then I realised it's a lot more simpler even then it looks usually once you're in the 4th gear you can keep that to do roundabouts and normal turns and you only click the splitter down when you think you're going to come to a complete stop so then you can usually starting second gear when you're empty or third
Props to you for changing at low rpms! The Volvos like to shift low, but many ppl rev them way too high when they change gears! I've driven a FH 480 and it was a really nice truck to drive :)
I understand the dual range principle as I was taught in a rigid with 8 gears, four over four. I struggle to understand quite how the half gear splitter is put to practical use though. I can only imagine it is if a truck was so heavily loaded that you need to use half a gear each time you shift because a full gear would cause it to lug. So it would be a case of flicking the switch and declutching, but not moving the shifter to go up half a gear. Strikes me as being a bit like overdrive on 3rd and top on an MG or Triumph sports car, except it is on all gears and halves a gear instead of overdriving it. I watched another uploaders video while he drove on the road and between block gear changes and the hi and low range switch being used as well as the splitter, I couldn't follow it even though he kept saying 'simple'! Then TH-cam showed me an American tutorial for using a 10 speed manual, and it seems to me all those Kenworths and Macks just have dual range with no splitter but incredibly they aren't fitted with synchromesh, and you have to double clutch on each upshift and do the same plus match engine speed with a throttle blip on the downshift! All those automatic cars yet they don't put synchromesh on trucks!
Also you can click the high although get to the opposite that you're in because when you either go down a gear or upper gear and you're in low gear obviously high gear in the gear below or your current gear high gear is next sounds confusing but simple
You use the gearbox as you would in a car however it’s all automatic now with trucks in the U.K. new trucks anyway unless you run a six legged tipper, if your on uneven ground manual gearbox is best
Driving trucks is not all about the fancy trucks you get to drive. Worldwide drivers are paid shit. Someone like me knows so much however I lost my licence 8 years ago for DD, not proud of that but I now drive a reach truck for DHL and wouldn’t go back on the road, it’s to much hassle, however I did rope and sheet, use straps, know what a fifth wheel is, have used fridges or reefers in U.S. I’ve delivered plant, dumpers, diggers, JCBs, cabins, skid steer loaders, telehandlers, fuel. I have delivered so many different things and have the skills but all the world wants now is internet stars. I have rusty skills which will be lost to time.
I don't think I understood the point in the video by watching it once but when you go from low to high gear of each gear you just press the clutch once to take you to the next half gear of each gear, either low or high
Unfortunately most explanations confuse things by talking about high and low gear but don't mention that there are two kinds of high and low. This is a combined range and split gearbox. Forget the split function for a while. You have 1 2 3 then you flip the range button and then you get high 1 high 2 and high 3 which some call 4 5 6. This is the "base" gears for lack of better terms. Now each "base" gear has a low or high half gear which is manouvered by the split button. So you have 1 low-split 1 high-split 2 low-split 2 high split 3 low-split 3 high-split Now you flip the range button and you get 4 low-split 4 high-split 5 low-split 5 high-split 6 low split 6 high-split.
Finally I know how to shift this 12 speed gearbox... And now I'm gonna steal my father truck and try to drive it =.= Well, I'm not going to do that, it's too dangerous..........
well I already did it by driving my dad’s scania truck and this was the first time I drove the truck alone in the middle of the night 🤣 it was a fun experience and you must try it but I hope you are always healthy and happy ma brother 🥺
C stands for crawling gear. It is basically kind of half gear, has half speed of 1st gear. It is sometimes used for vehicles that need to pull large loads, climb steep inclines, or drive over obstacles on the road or terrain, such as rocks, which is sometimes referred to as crawling over the rocks.

These is the best instructor av aver met keep up bro
Great video dude, I'm learning how to drive this exact truck in my education now. This was the perfect video, thank you!
Best video on changing gear with truck! Finaly i understand!!
your joking aren’t you

It's a good and very understanding for the runners .
Thank you very much your are a good teacher
Thanks man for updating this video
Very well explained! Cheers 🍻

youre a good teacher bro 👏
Very nice lesson
It was very difficult to me realise knowing it now
I'm so thankful ...tq bro
Nice bro.

Thank you your da beast hehe
Keep it up someone can gain something from your teaching
Thankyou very much bro
Great video
Very very useful video 👌
I love this video i love it
Thanks good explanation
Thank you bro :)
thanks bro

Good job
Thanks mate
Usefully
🙏🏻
wow, thanks
our 1986 f12 has the same trans (sr70)
this is gud instruction
Thanks
Which driving School are your from in Canada or us?
Hahahhaa TODAY I FINALLY UNDERSTAND
dast xosh
Why would you keep it in the low split for the whole run instead of using the full gear once up to speed?
You use the gearbox as you would in a car however it’s all automatic now with trucks in the U.K. new trucks anyway unless you run a six legged tipper, if your on uneven ground manual gearbox is best

How do you put on reverse?
What is split and where we use it
Wow
Thx man.

So you clutch one time when you shift or your floating? Because I seen alot of videos was with people double clutching and I only hear the clutch once
La Tasha Black it depends on the type of gearbox. No double clutching on this gearbox
It really depends on how far gone ur box is i have a DAF 105 and I dubbele clutch most gears cuz its faster and the box is happiest when i do it lol
So splitted sixth gear is 5,5 not 3?
Finally I know how to shift this 12 speed gearbox...
And now I'm gonna steal my father truck and try to drive it =.=
Well, I'm not going to do that, it's too dangerous..........
well I already did it by driving my dad’s scania truck and this was the first time I drove the truck alone in the middle of the night 🤣 it was a fun experience and you must try it but I hope you are always healthy and happy ma brother 🥺
@@akimmm well I wanted to try but I got no luck, my father change his truck to newer version which comes with automatic gearbox...
is this car from fast and furious??
fm 320?
do it with 60 ton lumber uphill please =)
and u can preselect the range gear and split instead of .......
Or drive a truck with a manual gearbox
So in other words it’s a 12 speed with 6 low and six high????
How to change down
All synchro, not an E.R.F. Eaton Twin Splitter use the clutch for first and then proper gear changes, that I could never get the hang of
So basically you have a 12 speed box with a splitter
How do you reverseee?
Robbie tziki put the gearstick left and back the reverse means r
What's the C stand for on the shift pattern?

very complicated gears.

Halp gears are you f******* killing me
When do you need to use a retarder?
When truck is fully loaded and its going downhill. We use retarder or exhaust break to prevent brake overheating and failing
@@msangwan7 will demonstrate with a video please
Plz lerning to hindi

How to drive a manual gearbox🙄
so over complicated, its 3+3 and a split
This guy doesn't know how to drive this truck ,why he only used one button he should have demonstrated using all the buttons since it has 2 of them
He showed it all watch that again side switch is for half gears idiot
