Let's get one thing straight I never said floating the gears are better. Definitely steering wheel holders should not try this. I said I can float gears if I wanted to. What I did say and standby is you do not push the clutch all the way to the floor when you're moving. When I said I just bump the clutch I am talking half way down not all the way down. The clutch brake is only used when we're stopped trying to get in first gear or reverse. You can wear it out or do damage to it. Yes I've driven cross country for US Express and my own my new GMC triaxle dump truck in the '80s.
Cattlerepairman may be you and "anyone" else should watch and read this bottom video about how to kill a clutch brake. The Eaton video that was posted said nothing about the clutch brake
Also we do not use the clutch when splitting a gear just let off the throttle. Another one by Eaton that talks about clutch brake for real. Do not use clutch brake when moving. Not a myth or a lie just google youtube lot of drivers can do it without doing any damage.
