I’m testing in a 6 speed. I usually like to start in 2nd gear. The problem I’ve been having is, my truck stalls out from time to time when taking off from a complete stop. Any advice to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏽
Had the same problem but learning how to control the clutch release and gas while taking off is a main key you prob let go of clutch to early what I do is raise my rmps and when it’s above 1 I half way let go off clutch you would feel the truck move then speed more up to 1.5 and let go of clutch completely it maybe :) it’s diff but that’s how I learned somehow starting off in 2nd gear because 3rd is too high to start off in a stop position
I have trouble knowing when to slow down and stop when light is red or when light changes from red to green. Do you have any advice in those situations?
When approaching a "stale green light", a light that has been green for a long time it is best to slow down and be prepared to stop. If at that point the light stays green then continue on through it, however if it changes you will be going slow enough to bring the truck to stop safely without having to slam on the brakes.
@henryc2859 i would say a couple taps. I've noticed when I say rev it up people sometimes rev it way too hard. Really if you pull on the shifter and tap on the gas you'll notice the shifter will come right out of gear. You'll literally tap it again to downshift.
Thank you. This video is better than anything they taught me in CDL. I’m watching this for some tips as I’m currently at school waiting in line to take my last road test preparation in the next couple of minutes. Tomorrow I have my last state exam for driving then I’m out of here 🙌🏽
With synchronized transmissions yes you push the clutch all the way to the floor when shifting gears up or down. With non-synchronized manual transmissions you "bump" the clutch a few inches as to not activate the clutch brake.
No, you do not have to double clutch in a synchronized transmission. That is for non-synchronized transmissions like 10 speeds, 13, speeds, and 18 speeds.
