Walker- (cool name) We will not because we only use 10 speed transmissions at our school. However, the shift pattern for a 13 speed is similar to the 10-speed. The information we provided in our video relates to using the WALLS to find your next gear. These walls lead to the gears. So, if you're double clutching a 13-speed, the idea is to clutch to neutral (first clutch) and move the shifter to the wall that is associated with your next gear. With the second clutch, you simply move the shifter to your next gear. This technique works better than moving the shifter to a random part of neutral, because it sets you up to find your next gear easily. Why? Because the walls lead to your next gear. Positioning the shifter on a wall after the first clutch means you will only have to push (or pull) the shifter to your next gear with the second clutch. Does that make sense? Let us know. PS: the middle wall (aka the soft wall) is more difficult to find than the 2 (outer) hard walls. The key to finding the soft wall? Finesse the shifter. Don't grip it too tightly or you'll have problems finding that middle soft wall. I teach my students to shift with one or two fingers, instead of gripping the shifter too tightly. Try this: sit in the truck, engine off, transmission in neutral. Push the shifter all the way to the right (right hard wall). Then place ONE finger on the right side of the shifter and gently pull it to the left until it stops. Now you're at the soft wall (middle). Then pull the shifter all the way to the left (left hard wall). If you can find these 3 walls, you should be able to find your gears.
CDL College LLC Thank you for the information, I get the concept of all of it. I am a fourth generation (soon to be) trucker, my great grandpa , my grandpa, and my dad still currently is. They were all owner operators, and haul fuel. But I never ever see them double clutch, and I've talked to other truckers that say that they don't either. So is there a benefit for double clutching or do you teach it to teach good habits?
CDL College LLC Alright then ig I see where it could be useful to teach drivers who have never driven a truck before or been around a manual transmission. So I see why it's probably taught. And you bet I will trucking is in my blood, and that's all I really see myself doing once I graduate.
This video help me more than all the other TH-cam videos thanks
Thanks.
Thank you very much for your sharing this clip. It is very helpful to us who drive the freightliner trucks.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, Truong. Good luck to you.
Aslam o lakam Mashallah very good nice thanks for information pervaiziqbal Karachi Pakistan

really nice video and easy to understand ....thanks bro
Another great teaching vid from CDLC! You guys have helped/taught me a lot. Thanks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Howdy, again. Thanks for watching this one, as well many of our other videos. Keep learning!
So 15 mph is 6th gear, 25mph is 7th gear, 35mph is 8th gear, 45mph mph is 9th gear, 55mph is 10th gear wow I get it now. Thanks so much for this video
You got it, RoRo. Thank you for commenting.
CDL College, LLC when I take the road test what gear should I start in
@ro , from first to 10th I guess depending on your way.🤙
@@rorodennis6174 4th
@@rorodennis6174 Empty trailer .... 3rd gear. Loaded trailer... 2nd gear.
it's amazing for me, thanks a lot,
What are the gears for 0-15 mph? When do you shift to 2 gear?
At 15mph, you should be in 6th gear. Thanks, Veronica.
Buen video 👍
Thank you, José!
What's the speed for 3 and 4 gear?
Hi, Veronica. You might want to watch this shifting video, instead: th-cam.com/video/z6AKaBeRNU8/w-d-xo.html.
12mph and 22mph
why do the numbers have to be so idk random
The numbers in the shift pattern?
will you be doing one for 13 speed?

Double clutching is required for the CDL Skills Test. After you pass the test, you can float your gears all day long...and you should!

How about a 5&4 transmission tutorial...lol
Absolutely useless. Didn’t even get to read the first two words of a 30 word sentence before it disappeared.
