All thanks for the replies. I just wanted to get the straight scoop, especially when the person on the other end of the phone tells you "It's the industry standard" :shock: Not that I think someone would blow smoke up my arse but just wanted to be sure.

I just don't like the Super's. Personal preference. My preferred tranny is a 13spd.

A super 10, you only have 5 shifts. 1/2, 3/4,5/6,7/8,9/10 If you start in 1st, you flip a switch push in the clutch(dont have to) and your in 2nd, you dont have to shift the stick.

I've never driven a super 10, but being from the old school it looks to me like it operates just like a 5+2, which was of course hated by most drivers and even those who didn't hate it still liked a regular 10 speed much better.

To those who say the super 10 can be driven like a 5 speed if you want, well, I can drive my regular 10 speed by shifting 3-5-7-9-10 if I want as well, so as to still have only 5 shifts.

Why was the super 10 invented, anyway? What need did it fulfill?

CRST had Super 10's......loved it, especially in traffic. Didn't to much care for CRST but did like the Super 10s.

On further thought, I am guessing the super 10 is quite a bit cheaper than a regular 10 right? Because if I understand correctly the front box has only 3 forward speeds and the back box has a range and splitter like a 13 speed. So it is getting 10 speeds with the minimum gears (parts) necessary to do it basically.

No!! I'm not a mechanic, so if I tried to explain it, I would only confuse you.

No what? No it is not cheaper or no it is not set up with the gears like that?
