What happens here

Inside the cab of the Peterbilt dump truck, the presenter details the 13-speed Eaton Fuller manual transmission. He explains that this type of transmission, also used in buses, requires specific skill and physical effort, describing the clutch as 'stiff' and difficult to fully engage/disengage. He mentions that despite its complexity, he switched to an automatic transmission due to the physical toll and the limited pool of drivers proficient with such manual systems. He expresses a preference for automatic transmissions for ease of use.

Goal: The presenter provides a detailed look at his Peterbilt dump truck, highlighting its interior and the 13-speed Eaton Fuller transmission. He discusses the challenges and physical demands of operating such a manual transmission, which was ultimately replaced with an automatic to simplify operations.
