[QUOTE="Northbaypkg, post: 2388119, member: 58387"] Yeah everything you described was how my test and facility was. Well now at least. We no longer have any manual transmission trucks in our fleet unlike when I first started and 70% of the trucks were manuals. But folks still take the test on that manual POS truck. Like everyone else said, NO ONE uses 1st gear to start up. For your next try, try to convince them to let you start off in 2nd gear instead. If they won't, then just work on going from first to second quickly after it revs high in first gear. It won't stall out as long as you rev that first gear high enough, and it revs high fast. It's almost an instantaneous shift. Hold the clutch down and get that thing in 2nd gear. Those POS old manuals are hard to get in gear sometime but after awhile on the test you'll get used to it. Don't give up at getting another road test. Unless you really just need more recent time with a manual transmission. [/QUOTE]
