How To Shift Eaton Fuller 6 Speed Transmission Correctly?
Topic 30526 | Page 1
What i mean correctly i mean like what mph to upshift or downshift with this 6 speed. I have seen the popular 10 speed eaton fuller like ar 25mph u should be in 7th gear since 2+5 is 7 so so forth. Does anyone know about 6 speed tranny? Im training to get my cdl A and im a bit scared to go higher gears to reach the actual 25mph speed limit in new york like i like to stay in 3rd gear which seems to reach 20 mph around 2000 rpms. Thinking about trying to train in auto truck and get a restriction since from what im hearing majority if not all major carriers are using automatic.
Hi, Victor~
Hope this helps:
Where are you training, with such a tranny? Just wondering.
Personally, I wouldn't get the restriction, if it's avoidable. I'd mire through on the 6 speed, since you obviously understand the 7 speed, it seems.
Best to ya!

Listening to the RPM's and matching the speed ur going...It takes practice to get it down. But not too hard. Heck I drive my civic 5 speed, all my old VWs rarely using a clutch except 1st n 2nd slowing down....
Used my GFs 1966 beetle @ 16 for my first drive test at DMV , barely passed.
Because the examiner dude didn't like my speed shifting. Told him "Bro you need to wind out each gear to get up to speed" lol
