This video begins with a review of Double Clutching a 10-speed transmission (Eaton Fuller).
We then introduce Hybrid Shifting as a way of learning how to float gears.
We then show floating, fixing missed gears, and a random sample of all 3 types of shifting.

Thanks your videos are very informative. I have learnt more from your videos than from my cdl school.
great tutorial
Never understand why hybrid is clutch out. It seems more intuitive to blip out and clutch in. Is this for dog wear? My intuition tells me grinding is worse, but I can also imagine how floating to neutral could cause damage, it just seems less violent.
Really enjoyed the flick , I’m in my second week of cdl and that helped a lot.
Best flick I’ve seen π
Should’ve mention [splitter π] from 5 to 6 and [ splitter β¬]down from 6 to 5
question: on floating gears when you downshift, what is the step by step procedures because Iβm a little lost on how to do that. I saw the video but I couldnβt tell if the driver braked first to slow down, thanks
Floating the gears, looks cool, and I have done it for 43 years. Any Mechanic will tell you, that is what a clutch is for, to shift the gears. It is still considered a Bad Habit to do. In fact any Road tester should fail a student for not using the clutch. So teaching them how to Float, is not really a good idea. Besides riding the clutch, will end the life quicker anyway. LOL… What you are doing by Floating is taking the Synchronous of the Transmission and wearing them down. Eventually, the transmission will wear out and you will lose that ability to shift like that over time and even the clutch will not slow the speed and you will never get the gear unless you grind the heck out of it, to slow. The Only time this Floating comes in handy, is if your clutch breaks down and your out of adjustment. At a set of lights, you can shut down the truck in 1st gear, and start the truck into running and Floating gears can get you to a shop for repairs. A tricky maneuver, but it can help to get you in for repairs
It’s been over 20 years since I drive a split shift but I’m about to get back into it. This was a good refresher.
Every driver I caught floating gears in my trucks I fired there ass on the spot!!!! That clutch is there for a reason and by god if you dont know how to use it you need another line of work.
CDL College produces videos superior to most others. Good job guys!
That is my problem, missing gears and recovery is difficult especially when downshifting
I can’t shift double clutching! What a pain it is! I never understood how it was easier that way? I have floated the gears since the first time i stepped in a truck and drove it as a kid. Plus back then i was to short to be pushing clutches and shifting at the same time lol
I started learning how drive truck by floating gears. To be honest I have never double cluthed. Just seems pointless. I get hybrid, some of the trucks at the yard at my job. The sticks gets stuck in gear sometimes, and you have to clutch it out. Good video though man.
Question, so letβs say weβre in 7th gear coming to a complete stop, can we come to a complete stop (clutch all the way then brake) put splitter down and shift to the starting gear (eg 1st or 2nd gear) then release the brake and slowly off the clutch and then gas? I never drove manual before or would we have to go from 7,6,5,4,3,2,1? and I am currently in CDL school, the instructor threw us in the fire, never backed in my life, the first two days he made us straight back and offset! Did horrible D:
why half clutch when shift gearοΌnot clutch to the floorοΌthank u
I was told that hybrid shifting was wrong that it messes up the clutch.
do these techniques work in your avg car? Say a VW Jetta? Whats different in the transmission if they don’t?
Hybrid shifting is just Single clutch
Very helpful to me! Especially the "don’t panic" part. Much appreciated
Wow,Thanks guys.
Hybrid 100%
Slideshifting is the best strategy! Also the clutch last longer!
Great video…i only know to double clutch. Thanks man
Its good to know how to drive a manual .autos are easer on your nee and body makes life easier .
Very helpful. I wasn’t taught how to double clutch and shift and this video explained it all. Now to put it to the test in the truck. Thank you.
I am an experienced driver and I am learning a lot from your videos. I am having problems double clutching after 20 yrs floating gears. You have excellent videos, thank you.
If my tendom dump truck is loaded 48,000 lb as gross weight, at what gear should I be at the intersection to turn left or right?
but when you grind like a few I saw, A gearbox is far more expensive than a clutch….. Maybe consider an Allison ? 8:16 for example. You do that shit fully loaded with 62 to 96t down hill with red traffic lights and 20 cars in front of you….. How is it going to end? I can tell you – multiple fatalities. Yes It’s a handy skill but ensure you are on a road that should you miss a gear you can recover without burning your brakes up
Excellent video. Only it will be so much more helpful if you showed tbe rpm needle at the corner of the screen … Thank you
This video is very helpful π in that you explain exactly what is happening and the sequence are repeated. Thank you i love these videos!!
Gear shifting is designed to the RPM of the engine and the speed of the truck. Old school instructors called it the V the high and low RPM to shift at that is the reason there is a tachometer in every truck. Floating gears can be very good but no transmission manufacture will recommend floating gears. The more you know about your equipment will make a more professional operator in every.
Great..
It is the correct RPM’s that are giving me trouble.
Wow it was awesome how they applied all the techniques at the end, double clutch, hydrib and floating!!! I was always wondering if it was possible to downshift floating gears and thanks to this video now I know!!! Can’t wait to apply the hybrid as well!!! I just recently got my CDL license but I was only taught how to double clutch and was told about floating gears but like I said I didn’t know you could float gears to downshift and didn’t even know about hybrid shifting!!! Awesome video!! This helps a lot for us beginners because I’m sure employers look for this kind of knowledge on potential employees!
Hybrid Shifting, normally, we would do that if we jammed the gear, and it won’t go back in the next up or down, and would use the clutch to set the gear into position. Or if we can’t release the gear forwards. It is a short cut, to help when we get a shift wrong say on a hill, when your loaded and the truck slows to fast for the Sync to Mesh. And by the way, Smack smack… your riding the clutch still. Bad habits are hard to break, but you need to keep the clutch free….
Honestly I’d panic if I missed a gear π
Best!!! Videos ever. Very formal and easy to understand. Thank you so much for showing a real practice video. If I only couldβve knew your school. Thank you so much. From NJ.
This is a great angle! Thanks
OK I was just watching you double clutch shift… 1st off, I would like to point out, that in the olden days, you would get a knuckle smack, for riding the clutch like that. Take your foot off the clutch pedal totally. You wearing out the clutch and bringing it out of adjustment a little at a time. Most Clutch brakes, have a self adjustment, and that means while preparing to put into 1st gear, you apply the clutch all the way to the floor, when at a Stop and Start. #2- when you double clutch, you only need press the pedal about 4 inches on pulling the shift out and again about 4 inches when replacing the next gear. Your putting too much effort on your legs, when it is not needed.
Question: on floating gears while downshifting, when you brake to 1000 to 1100 rpmβs, do you stab the accelerator lightly to pop out of gear and shift to neutral, Then accelerate to 1300 β 1500 rpmβs, then release accelerator to pop to new gear? thanks
4th Option: buy a truck with automatic transmission.
Thanks so much. Way easier to learn watching your video than during the pressure on the road with the school ( left nameless) . Well explained too, some of us need the explanation of the mechanics that are taking place as well as the procedure so it all makes sense. I know I’ll pass my road test and maneuvers this time. I’ve seen all your videos and they are outstanding to learn this trade by.
Thank you , Thank you , Thank you.!!!
Great video
Just got my CDL bye bye double clutch! RPM shifting here we come!
Man your teachings are so clear and easy to understand. Thanks
This is a great video. Better than anything else that I have found. I am still seeking one answer though.
I just finished CDL and was taught to float when upshifting and use the hybrid when down shifting. My question is regarding use of the jake brake when downshifting. Assuming it is engaged, how do I properly downshift? Do I need to play with my throttle to disengage the jake during my shift?
Thanks.
So honestly, other than starting to move from a dead stop, what is the point in double or hybrid shifting if it shifting gears can easily be done by floating gears. Is it just to have the basic knowledge of it and/or just in case something else goes wrong and you need to do it?
Driving a ten speed shifting is not the same as a regular manual car shifting. Thanks for the video
Thanks a million for sharing!
This the best shifting gear on Youtube so far! Very helpful thankyou
