I'm a new student driver and was wondering if anyone could provide me with gear speeds for a 10spd transmission? I searched around the boards and couldn't find anything. Thank you all.

It depends on the manufacturer and ratio set.

While it varies depending on the exact ratios of the rears and the make/model of the trannie a starting point for you would be:

In the high range add the two number together and that is the gear you should be in.

For example 45 mph= 9th
35 mph= 8th
15 mph = 6th

I think you get the idea. It is not a catch all forumla to be sure, but it will get you by until you learn the truck you are driving.

In low range it comes more with experience than anything.

WHen you shift though you should be upshifting at 1500-1700 rpm
and downshifting at around 1100-1200 rpm.
