Message: [QUOTE="RMZRyder, post: 1182005, member: 73986"] but I will back off the throttle to match gears.[/QUOTE]You aren't really matching gears, that is a whole different animal that truck drivers know well. You are just unloading them so that they will float (synchronize may be a better word) into each other more easily.[/QUOTE]I drive heavy duty trucks in the oil field and if the power is on you can not force it out of gear, you have to let off to shift, of course these machines have 1000 plus lbs of torque going through the transmission, without sincronization you will not sucessfully shift a large truck. IMO shifting anything without sincronization will eventually result in extensive repairs. [/QUOTE]
