Thanks a shit-ton for this video bro. I've been driving 10 speeds for four years and I'm starting another gig on Monday morning that has all 13's. After watching your video a few times, I know feel confident enough to jump behind the wheel Monday morning and take off just as if I'm still in a 10. Thanks again bro!

I like people that actually have fun in their videos 👍🏽

Pedal-cam=awesome.

this is the best video that i've seen actually teaching how to shift a 13 speed.. good job man.

I've spent the last few hours looking at instructional videos online and other than not wanting to call the gears by the number on the shifter and your little break out into song, this is the best video I've seen so far. Camera under the seat is genius. I hope you still get these posts and that you know how helpful you are being to people.

I’ve watched this video so many times since I started driving trucks 9 years ago, that when you start singing about changing gears @1:00, I start singing with you 😂😂🤣👌🏾💪🏾

Outstanding video...best one I have seen on youtube explaining both up and downshifting. I especially like the duel shot of the shifting and whats going on with gas, brake, and clutch! Thanks for the great video!!!!

I really appreciate you for taking the time to do this. It’s was very helpful, especially the foot cam. That’s exactly what I needed to see.(the foot cam) thanks🙏🏾

Best shifting video on KZfaq, period. Thank you for posting this!

Thanks for this. Never driven a 13 speed. And im going to a company that has em. This helped me out alot

Thank you so much. I didn't know how to shift an 13 speed truck. 10 speed has been my max. Thank you again. Take care and be safe out there.

You are shifting very good nice and smooth impressive !

As always I enjoy the way you teach how to operate the sectors on a 13 speed transmission.

Very good video it helped me collect n rerecognize the structure of shifting a 13 speed transmission again it's been awhile...

@TheJEF26 Great question! All brakes, clutch in. There's really no time to down shift in a sudden stop, so it's 95% brakes

Definitely the best 13 speed shifting video I've seen so far.. you made it plain and simple

awsome demonstration, thank you for posting.........glad you straightened me out on reverse!! lol But seriously, I have been driving a semi dump for a while and was using the range select for overdrive with out ever having a demo. You cleared up a few issuses for me, like coming off the throddle to activate over drive......thankx

American truck clutches must last forever. You made it look so easy. Most euro drivers dont know what a stick is nowadays let alone how to change what we would call a crash box. You got skills fella !

Thanx bro! Good video, I like the way you float, even your ditty at the beginning ;)

I swear man only video that helped me and explained it perfectly and easy Thank You

0:53 had my rolling!!🤣🤣

Love your pedal cam bro. You floated all your gears like you would in a 10. Thank you. Never used the clutch on when you stopped.

Nice to see you keep the cab clean!!

Underrated video. Great explanation great presentation. Starting new job I’m going from 10’speed to 13 speed.

It's still amazing this is all done without the clutch up-shifting past dead start as well as down-shifting by double "clutching" without using the clutch. That clutch really only starts to engage at the upper end of the pedal travel. Great video Matt - thanks! Stop and go traffic must suck!

Actual driving this is a great video. For anyone taking the CDL test DO NOT FLOAT GEARS! had to throw this out there since a friend of mine actually does the tests. The testers (most anyway) dont want to fail you for it but they have to when they see you do it.

Great video and great view of the foot work it helps when you can see everything so you can put it together. Got a new job in the morning and dispatch told me at the last minute it's a 13spd so late night searching before work in the morning

Thank you for such a great demo. Especially when you start singing HiLo Lol. Good Job

Thank you for adding the video of how your feet are working while shifting!!

yay a new video! xD love ur videos matt:)

Perfectly simple man. Great video!

Thank you so much for that awesome lesson!

Keep up the good work your classes are excellent Sir

Finally a clear explanation. Thank you

Flawless... No clutch, and very smooth !!

The best video on yt. Tnx man, you the best

great instructional video. 10++ rating. great job dude. funny in the beginnng. see ya on the road!

I think is a really good video. I think it will be a good idea to do what you did, record changing the gears and pedals... and maybe adding a third camera to see the dash board... so ppl are going to be able to see speed and rpm while changing gears. But again, really good video.

dude hit a song in the middle of explaining the vid lol I love it!!

Nice and simple that's the best video I've seen for up shifting and downshifting good job driver

Best shifting video I have seen yet.

thank you my job requires me to drive a 13 speed and you sir explained it to the point thank you

that shifting at the end of the clip from standstill was awesome......yeeeeeehaaa!!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Thanks I love your demonstration the best 😊

Great job wacthed your video got complete understanding

Great video man! I like the video overlay showing the footwork as well at the same time. I'll be sending viewers your way from my channel to watch and learn! Well done!

this is the best video,driving 13 speed,congras, driver u r the best

good video.. u made it 1000 times easier to understand by just drivinng n showing gears change..

good video for new drivers sir! you do it just like I do.

very nice video and explanation.

Interesting and informative. Good job!

Sir, I liked your video. Very informative. Thank you.

Man, you make it look so easy!!!

You make floating gears look easy good job man nice video

So when spitting gears, what rpm should you be when you let off the clutch for the gears to switch from low to high example 6L-6H....?????

Great video again.. I'm just about ready to make the jump to becoming an OTR driver.. I wish I could train with you!

Excellent! I JUST learned a 10 Speed in CDL school so was nervous to hear I'd be handling a 13 speed on occasion with my company. I watched a couple of other videos before yours and was ready to throw my laptop through the wall - couldn't follow their explanations at all. The split-screen was great! And yes, the song was a homerun, lol!

Seeing your feet really helped me. Now I understand. I think I could do it now. THANKS

Do you have to split the high range gears 5-8 if its a light load or empty??? And if not, then do I keep 5-8 in low range or high range?

Is that a Peterbilt? Been driving a 10 spd/auto for a year and really want to learn a 13 speed. Great video man and keep on rolling.

Great video, very clear 👍

Excellent video!!!

When you downshift do you use spike on acceration in between ,before or after taking the first gear out in neutral?

Finally a helpful vid thanks

Oh and awesome vid once again!!!

nice video man! like always!

very nice video very informative an was great having view of feet an shifter both.

That's the best shifting vid I have seen

i am not a truck driver but i have really enjoyed this video. i have looked for a truck simulator here in new jersey, coult not find one....used to love to use car simulator games at an arcade. hopefully you will make a few more videos.

Five, hi-lo, six hi-lo, seven hi-lo, eight hi-lo, nine hi-lo hi-lo hi-lo, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho

mane you made me laugh my ass with the funnys referring to the Hi-Lo

It looks like my Pete 379. Great truck !

13 speed is nice if your going through the hills but over all I say 18 speed all the way!! Nice vid btw

thnx 4 the vid bruh good vid to float gears specially downshifting

Great video! thanks for the info.

This video helped me get a job lol... thanks for the video you did a great job lol hi lo hi lo hi lo haha thanks again!

Thanks for the video!!!

@1776Filmz I'm confused.. don't you have to use the clutch between the gears? Trucks seems to be ALOT different from over here in Europe. Please enlighten me! ;)

I'd like to learn how to drive a 13 speed. I've always driven 10s. Nice driving!

What are the RPM range you use for upshifting and downshifting so the gears dont stuck, or they just go right in. And when you downshift did you tap the accelerator at same time while moving the gears.

So you only use the the cluch starting off from a dead stop and reversing/backing up? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. The double screen was super usefull too.

Nice presentation, thanks!

Thanks for the vids man, i wanna learn to shift without using clutch really, its tiring everytime to double clutch

great job man sure helped alot

Fuck yea this is exactly what I needed! I’m starting my new job tomorrow god willing and this is gold for me! I know how to drive a 10 speed but I was worried about this 13 speed that I’ll be driving and I have to say after watching this video! 13 speed is nothing! Thanks man! I can literally say that cause of this video I know how to drive 13 speed transmission!

Nice video 👌 great instructions

No you don't have to use the clutch to shift but its use is recommended. When shifting unsynchronized transmissions, you have to match the road speed and transmission speed, otherwise you'll grind. Clutch discs are wear items, meaning they are meant to wear out over time, and they are checked and adjusted or replaced at certain PM intervals. Transmissions are not considered wear items. Between the two, clutch disc's are much cheaper to replace than a transmission.

Its comforting to know that you can downshift full gears and not have to split I thought you had to downshift 7 gears that would be a hastle.

thx for the informative video. i'll definitely be looking to buy a 13 speed over a ten speed, i think

I expected some flip flops?? Another great video !!

Random suggestion; mounting a go-pro on random parts of the truck could make for a cool video. Maybe I'll do it after a while, but hey, you've already got a bit of a following on here.

Very smooth shifting, but what are you hauling?

hell yea man thank you for doing the down shit ur way cause I was thinking to myself "can you grab full gears on a down shift and not do half gears all the time" thanks Hope to see you on the road.. look out for a TMC near you..

Love how u teach u can be a great instructor BTW .CAN U DO A VIDEO ON GEAR SHIFT BY THE MILEAGE U SUPPOSED TO RIDE AND RMP ,,.DOT I NSPECTIONS .AND HOW TO SELECT BOX WEIGHT LEVEL.AWESUM HI LO HIGH LO.IM.GOING FOR.MY CDL .THANKS .JAJAJAJ

How do u get your shifter lever so far away from the seat? Mine gets blocked by the armrest if I leave the armrest down.

bud this 3was a great video thnk you getting my 13 speed kw tomorrow

I think the red switch on the side of the shifter is called a "spliter switch". Keep up the great videos!!! Catch you on the flip side.

You're hilarious I like your teaching skills, seriously

Hi this is a cool video. I'm a female and I've always wanted to drive a 18 wheeler and I give my props to all the female drivers out there on the dangerous highways and bi-ways. So to top it off, I met a guy, which is now my boyfriend and he drives big trucks and he is teaching me, and for the first time in my life I drove his truck. I was scared as hell, but I soon got a lil comfortable and he taught me so well, even though he was shifting some of the gears for me. An I was driving on the interstate. I just thank god that nothing happen and we made it back home safe and sound.
