16 Speed Gearbox 

Much like the 18 speed Eaton trans. that is prevalent in the US. Good job to you and your Dad for staying with the manuals! Todd the retired trucker.

I got a 12 speed XF and it drives lovely, their a completely different animal to an auto, I hate autos with a passion, changed jobs last year and nearly fell over when they said it’s a manual. Literally jumped for joy

The gears come in useful 11:29 when the truck is loaded to 44 tons and you are glad of half gears. Keep up the good work.

The words you were looking for is unconcious competence. Four stages of learning, unconcious incompetance (you are crap and dont know yet), concious incompetance ( still crap but at least you know it now), conscious competance (getting there but still having to think about it), unconscious competance (Becky changing through the box or not having to think about it at all). Great vid.

As always becks very interesting on how to operate split boxes n informative unlike others 👍👍 Video that would be good n interesting for those taking test is the couple n un coupling of the trailers, and what the term B L A C K refers to when comes to trailers.

Brilliant Becky. If I remember correctly.When I took my truck and bus test,a long time ago,if you passed on an automatic, you had to take another test on a manual. Thanks Becky take care. ♥️♥️♥️🐄👍

Good video and very well explained too. Driven may manual units over the years myself. I'm one of the few no though I think that now prefers an auto box as like your dad my knees have seen better days. The one complaint I have is I see with new drivers driving automatics is that they don't appreciate going down the box to help you slow down. Its foot down and slam on the brake last minute. We have quite a few shot loads that way.

Never driven a 16 speeder. Had a 15 plate cf75 with a 12 speeded and an mx brake on it....lovely piece of kit fully loaded you could go down bird lip and the only time you touched the brakes was just as you came to the roundabout to go left on to the lower part of the hill.The sign of a proper trucker using a manual box.

Very good and informative, I can imagine as you said it is quite confusing at first but after a while it becomes second nature 😀, I drive an automatic class 2 but I'd love to have a go in a manual

I've watched loads on learning manual gearboxes ,this is the best explained I've seen ,makes sense now !👍

Thanks for the info about the gear changing. I understand completely. The one aspect that surprised me was that the half gears work in the low range. About 30 years ago I spent the day as a passenger in my friend's MAN truck. I actually got to drive it briefly on a disused airfield he was delivering to. I got up to 5th gear briefly, (i.e. I got into high range). He never used the splitter on low range, so I don't know if it was actually an option or not.

Funny they have fully synchronized boxes in Europe. Too easy!

Thank you Becky I found it very interesting great video ❤

I remember back in the 80s delivering new Mercedes tractor units. They had 4 speed knock over boxes giving 8 gears plus a splitter giving a total of 16 gears. When delivering the new units we usually started them in 13th and only used the top 4 gears. We then moved onto the pre select EPS gearbox, but thats a different story. Love your videos

you wanna try and see if you can get to drive a truck with a crash box Eaton Fuller, thats a double clutch job or you can float the gears with no clutch at all only when taking off and coming to a stop.

Great video Becky. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

Love the video and the explanation on there gearbox

It was very educational how you use all the gears in a lorry that's why I like automatic vehicles my brain won't let me do two things at once so I wouldn't be able to drive your lorry ❤❤

I drove a 13 speed Road Ranger in Canada and learned to shift with out the clutch. the clutch was for first and reverse. sound of engine was all you needed.

Great video Becky I learnt to drive in a 6 speed box and wish they had a bigger gearbox so I could have learned how to use a splitter. Did try and drive a dustcart with a splitter only lasted one hour 🤣 didn’t want to wreck the gearbox. Can you float gears in your truck ? Keep up the great work

VERY INFORMATIVE THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Loved this! More on howbthings work and why please 😊😊

Very informative, the reality is that a lot of combinations are not used. One thing I never understood,although I am goings back 30 years, is how the splitter, when used, registers the change on a paper tachograph.

Very good and informative video Becky, happy to have more like it.👍👍

Great Video Becky, I would like to know about the gears when you going down narrow lanes/steep hills/mountains and what gears you would use?

love the DAF 16 speed gearbox i,m the same never really split the gears in low box but loaded would split the high box

Eaton twin splitter for me, great gearbox. Great video Becky ❤️

Great video becky. Any reason for not getting an automatic daf?

I think I'd forget what gear I was in.

Ooooh and one question... I assume from watching that the half gears don't require the clutch? 😊

Hello. My last 16 speed gear box was on my Left hand drive . Going from 5 up unloaded can you change without the using the clutch, if you get the revs right going up & down the box you will find it’s as smooth as an auto box. 😊😊

Awesome 😎 ❤

ZF16 great gearbox.

Great video

Hi Becky, great video of how to change the gear on your trucks. I didn't know there was a high and low box and half gears as well. Do all your trucks have Air horns? Keep up the great work.

Not being a driver my only problem with changing gears was when I got home after being on my road bike for 60some miles then changing footwear to ride my (so-called) mtb to get t'shop, suddenly having to remember which bike I was on and where the levers were...oh, and occasionally thinking after a long day at werk on a forklift truck, that I should be wearing a seatbelt! 🤣

Good video Becky 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Hu Becky, great video, out 9f curiosity you said you passed your test in an auto, did you then have to re test in a manual or is it different to a car licence, thank you 😊

Wow gud for u, here in South Africa i drive 32 speed.

Hi becky any tips on reversing

Hi becky with time it get easier but I would think it must be hard changeing gears

Good vlog interesting 🤔 👍 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Fata in principiu si cand cere masina, le mai sari le mai amesteci, cand nu poate motorul sau la vreun deal ajuti cu jumatati de viteza. Când ești gol folosești doar viteze intregi

Great driver know how.x

Love video

you have probably shown the pedals before, but I missed it. I'm in USA Texas. gas is right foot and clutch is left foot. Are the pedals the same there in truck and regular vehicle?

I LIKE USEING YOUR CB RADIO

I never got to arctic work. Buses and semi automatic was horrible. Coach was manual up to 6 speed box. Do you have to drop gears in half’s also? I did double clutch in training in an old Bedford coach. Del Boy day out job.

Range change and splitter

What if you are in 13th gear and you have to stop really fast so you don't crash ? just wondering .

Hi Becky great video I didn't know your truck was a 16 speed gearbox. I thought it was a 10 or 12 speed. I've yet to start truck driving. I do want to

In Australia when driving Kenworths with 18 speed boxes many drivers do not use the clutch when shifting between gears. Can this be done in a DAF?

Another great video Becky but to be honest there’s no gearbox to match the GRS900 that Scania used. Even if your clutch went you still were able to get her to your destination and back

Far to easy, no double de clutching. Try a eaton twin splitter, great 'box once you master it

Hi Becky, nice video, but one thing i dont get is why so many trucks in the UK only have an Engine Breake and not a Retarder? Is there a Reason for that? Here in Germany its very rare to see just an Engine Brake alone. Greetins from Germany

Excellent video Becky, would you buy an automatic if you were buying a new truck 🚚

Hi Becky you should do a cola with trucker Tim again

16 forward gears Yr not a bit slow Maam

It boggles me you can learn to drive in an automatic truck and allowed to drive a manual after passing your test but not for a car??

I thought manual gearboxes were a thing of the past? Never driven a manual for years.Auto everytime.

Hej becky iså you in asmr video vill you drive to norrköping o test my 4 raincots her o take home to you if you vill have raincots

Just buy an auto

Hello. My last 16 speed gear box was on my Left hand drive . Going from 5 up unloaded can you change without the using the clutch, if you get the revs right going up & down the box you will find it’s as smooth as an auto box. 😊😊
