I start school within a few weeks and have no stick shift experience yet. A friend of mine last night said he knows someone that has a rig which has a straight 7 transmission, who would be willing to help me out some before I start training.
Would this be an acceptable type of transmission to at least get some experience on?
I ask this because awhile back I was told from people here that learning standard on a car or small truck is NOT a good idea as the shifting is alot different on a big rig. Is a straight 7 that much different than a 10 speed transmission? (This is the type of transmission the schools trucks have)
Thanks in advance.
