THIS IS A GREAT LEARNING VIDEO FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER SHIFTED AN EATON SUPER 10 TRANSMISSION IT OPENS IN " REAL PLAYER "

Thanks! that answered alot of questions.
One question I now have is, towards the end, they showed that you can just double clutch (like normal) up from 1-3-5-7-9, without using that button and all.. Now if you were to do this, on 65mph interstate for example, would your trucks rpm be high, as in wanting you to shift into 10th still or will it ride down the interstate at 65-70mph in 9th gear just fine?
If you do need to get it into 10th, can you just hit the button backwards and make it shift into 10th?

I hope this came across clear...

Yes, thats all there is to it.

Awesome thanks!
I'll watch it a few more times, but think I almost got it down. this is near worthy to be made a sticky post.

I love a super ten, sweet tranny. Shifts between 9th/10th automatically up or down. Great for sipping coffee!

It's even better when the truck goes through all 10 automatically - I can sip coffee while pulling out of a truckstop and back onto the highway :wink:

One problem I've found with the Super 10 (which has the nickname Stupid 10) is that the RPM range between gears is quite long on the split. Meaning, the RPM's have to drop a lot to shift between gears. When I first started driving a Super 10, I found I was hitting the throttle too early, and missing the gear on the split, or missing the "sweet spot". I found that if you quickly pop it out of gear and back in when shifting the split, that it forces the RPM's to drop faster, thereby catching the gear properly.

I will note that I got my best fuel mileage out of a Super 10 transmission. I was pulling hopper bottoms, and was always at 80,000 lbs. My average MPG was almost 7, whereas with a 13 speed I was averaging around 6.25.

You have to wait for the tranny to shift, if you are on the throttle a millisecond to soon...you get a neutral. :evil:

Good luck.

I've never driven a Super 10 but I came close at Pepsi with an old Ford F700 with a 5 speed + 2 speed rear end, which is similar in operating principle to the Super 10.

If you find yourself shifting to fast and too impatient to wait 4 the RPM to drop,, try switching on the engine brake on low. The super 10 usually does the 9-10 shift automatically if you have the cruise switch ON. When cancelling your cruise you can either tap the brake, clutch or barely move the switch toward the off position without completely moving the switch. If you find yourself with the cruise switch in the OFF position and want it to shift UP, do it manually, then move the switch to ON, if not it gets confused and wont shift.

Much fun!

I loved my super-10, actually it was easier that 13speed. And got very good fuel mileage....what you didn't button shift- you could skip/ float the rest....made learning to float real easy.....but my trainees had harder time grasping the concept and made their training a little harder....

agreed with the poster--- very same principle as an old 2speed axle( rear end) A lazy man's tranny- before the days of automatic. all petal work and timing with the button-- couldn't get in a hurry with the engine got to let the rpms drop by themselves.. Good way to teach students NOT to rev up the rpm's to 18 or 20( this just wastes fuel & takes that much longer for rpm's to drop and sync tranny)

Thanks, Rev., that is good to hear. My tractor, not yet in service, has a Super-10 and I'll also be grossing 80,000 alot. Praying I can get at least 6mpg. Not a speed demon anyway, so "foot pressure" won't be a problem.

over 1 mil miles on my super 10 & no work performed on it yet. still has original clutch. in 95' intl cabover. been in it 9 years now.
