USXpress uses the same tranny in both the Freightliner & Volvo's - not sure what they have in the Peterbilts.
If it's a full auto (all should be there now) there is no clutch, sem-auto had the clutch.
The Freightliner's shifter was a 'duckbill' on the steering column. You selected R,N,D, L and Manual - To manually shift manually, you pushed down on the paddle, pull up to upshift.
The Volvo's shifter was a box beside the drivers seat, with the same buttons as the switches on the Freightliner. The only exception was there was an upshift & downshift button.
Don't quote me, but I think they run the Eaton-Fuller auto's - could be Meritor, it's one of the 2.
As far as the funny comment, Thank You - I do my best :wink:
