Well i finally got out in the truck yesterday for a couple of hours! Took half an hour and a lot of crunching to get things sorted out. Got going up gears all sorted out no worries, just need to sort out changing down gears. I let the revs come down to about 1000rpm, clutch - neutral - big pump - clutch - crrrrrrrrrrrunch - crrrrrrrrrrunch. I'm getting it in 2/4 changes, but usually still with a bit of a crunch. Got changing up gears pretty much down pat. Usually only a tiny into 1 gear out of the lot. And remembered about firm positive gear changes. If i shifted confidently i nailed every change, if i hesitated or worried i screwed them up. Didnt even bother trying to use the splitter yet. Any easier way to get the hang of down changes? And if you're coming to a stop at lights and in top gear, how many gears would u usually come back down through?
