This video was 2 years ago and I was wondering how has the transmissions been holding up and if you have the newer version how have they been holding up. I'm looking for how these transmissions hold up after a few years and a few hundred thousand miles on them.
Thanks for sharing this!👍

For long time truckers I wonder how much these auto/ and auto-manuals have changed driving for you. Do you like the new systems?

[Skull-vcsl]

If you have automatic restriction, can you drive it?

[Un_Remarkable]

вот супер и не нужно эти 18 скоростей туда сюда крутить всю дорогу! наконец то пришла автоматика

[jpirl]

Thanks. Can you still start in 3rd when you have a light load?

This is not the Eaton ultrashift this is the new endurant 12 speed Auto manual, Eaton ultrashift was in a 10, 13 and 18 speed configurations and was in the center console the new Cummins endurant 12 speed and the paccar 12 speed are now on the console of the steering wheel

CFI was the first mega carrier to have automatics.

That's going to mess with a person's muscle memory switching between a car and that. No wonder some truck drivers say they can't drive a car with so much experience in a semi.

Why y’all don’t talk abou upgrade test at CFI

Nobody should need a Class A CDL to drive an automatic truck. Just a quick class with backing a trailer will do. Super easy to drive an automatic. Literally almost anyone can do it. Then we can actually get a ton more drivers on the road.

Glad to see CFI is going to Automatics! :)

Do you recommend a kenworth T680 paccar automatic 10 speeds ?

Absolutely garbage I unfortunately bought a automatic ultrashift but let's just say never again only thing I like about it its the jacke break and no I don't enjoy shifting but they chock and not to mention at 190k the transmission broke down so eaton replced it and now 519k 1 month before warranty goes out I got stuck in Arkansas 360 Mike's from home air Leake inside rail C
Spn 4146 fault code I hope the warranty can replace it with a 13 speed o and yes I replaced the clutch and just the parts cost $2800 and $1500 labor not at a dealer the first transmission replacement with 190k I was told it cost $40k I had warranty but I still lost 4 weeks because they must do a lot of tests to make eaton pay for it.

You left something out! When you hold that Jake brake all the way down it will shift into neutral

[robertmccardle]

do youself a favor. buy a manuel transmission. keep yourself in control of the truck. having no clutch control SUCKS.

[phsycopiano]

These transmissions suck.
Allison all the way

Drivers don’t drive automatics only steering wheel holders drive automatics I’m 23 and I’ve never drove an automatic that’s why didn’t drive for them
