Depends on the hub. My boy got out of class and the route he was on was a stick. He told them he couldn’t drive it so the next day there was a brand new automatic in the spot.
Does becoming a driver mean you have to learn how to drive stick?

One of the two most common questions people on the street ask me about getting a job as a UPS driver is “Do you have to know how to drive a stick?” The other is always “Do you need a CDL?”
Then, “Do they drug test you?”
“But you’re driving an automatic! Why do you need to know how to drive stick?!”

I drive a stick every once in a blue moon at my center. Yesterday when I was helping out at an other center they gave me a stick no problem. The only problem was that the diagram was totally different from what the gears actually where. I wasted 15mins in that yard figuring out where the gears actually where before I when out on the road to do the deliveries that I had.
Unless you are driving and old high stepper they are all five speeds.

And not to mention the damn thing kept popping out of gear on me
Did you write it up so the person that drove it after you didn't have the same problem?

Yea it was popping out off third gear alot only. But the thing drove like a champ though.
It probably needs to be replaced.

If you can drive a 5 speed you can handle a 4 speed too.
I just hate the placement of reverse on a 5 speed.

I miss them. Made delivering faster. Just leave It in 2nd gear and go gogo!

Creeper gear?

Judge me.
Use it first. Every time. Every, time. First.

If you burn up the clutch so what? It gives the mechanic something to do.

Judge me.
The method is to park the truck in the lowest forward gear. Engage handbrake.
