I drive an XF automatic normally. Tomorrow I'm being trusted with a CF manual, 16 speed. Haven't needed to use the splitter before but now I know that I just have to use the clutch to engage the split gear, not take it out and put it back in gear with the splitter on. Thanks for this vid, I hope it helps me on the road!

[klemmerle]

Thx for good video. Some years ago I had joy to drive a DAF with same gear. Began career with Mercedes NG witt one-H without Split, then double-H without Split, then double-H splitted and so on … wish you and all our camerades all time good trip

[teleecaster]

Interesting, Pat. Thanks! I only ever had very simple Eaton-Fuller 10-speeds (high-low ranges, one overdrive gear, no splits). I wanted more gears--more gears, more fun. Safe trip / Marc

[ismaelgele]

Hi Patrick I hope you have a very happy and prosperous New Year ... very interesting to learn more about the Transmissions of European trucks .... never driven a truck and Europe but I can see that these changes are very smooth .. I see none nesesario rpm engine speed to reduce gear changes .. thank you very much for sharing these fabulous and interesting videos dear friend .. My best wishes to you and your family in this new year .. Greetings friend

Very liked this video Patrick,
I used to drive my fathers truck in summer, his truck has little bit different transsmission, but anyway person just have to get used to it, to practise for some time, then it will be easy to drive any truck.
have a nice evening my friend,
Simas

yes Paccar engines, but the transmission is ZF ?the picture in the video with the eaton 18s was in my instruction book of my daf, it is a mistake, ,it is nearly the same just that we dont have the 2crawler with the zf
have a good week

[RuthaProductions]

For who does not have experience, those videos are perfect. Keep doing that. You and Andy. Great job! Happy new year!

[Patrick]

some prefers the auto boxes, it is true that it is great in the traffic jam, but for the normal drive and driving with the feeling, the manual transmission is we are in 2013 and i think that my next truck will be with an autobox....in my company they test the new mercedes actros and the new daf 460, both of them with automatic
have a good weekend Marc

[АлександрКоловрат-ин]

Have a good Day! Please, tell about how do you shift one full gear down before overtaking? Just off the gas - clutch in - shift gear - clutch out and at the same time add gas? No any blipping the throttle and other features?

[simonnyman]

Quick question: At around 3:15 when you are downshifting, are you keeping the clutch depressed all the time or are you letting it up between every shift?

[Patrick]

hi Andrzej
i do loaded 1L 3L 4L 5L 6L and empty 2H 4H 5H 6H 7H 8 L know i have a 410, at 44tons you need a lot know that you can have the ZF16S, the Fuller 18s and the autobox 12s of Daf
for the the highest reverse gear, yes i use it often when i unload the train in the factory, there i must do some long reverse if i dont want to each time "u turn"...fast hé....with the trailer you dont have to miss the backing
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND

is your father still drive? how old is he? It's almost like mine family- my grandfather was driver too, my father is, but i only not yet...i have license for trucks, have try it, but somehow i dont like it - situation in Latvian truck driving...

[GOLTURBO]

Damn auto trucks! Great Manual gearboxes, even with synchromesh.

[Patrick]

grazie per i auguri
anche a te un buon capo d anno
Pat

[MihalisNavara]

I love the sound of 4L. I can listen to it for hours...

[cobbinahrichard]

I like the way you teach how to drive daf

[Patrick]

it is nearly the same like a scania
the last truck of my father was a scania r500 with manual gearbox
i have try it ...what i can say is that gearbox of the scania was harder for shifting the gear, not worst to use but you need to use more power with your arm to shift the gear
thanks for your comment
