I have a Cat in a Sterling tandem and it is a breeze to shift because the rpm's fall slowly, just remember that the rpm's have to drop 400 before you can shift, it just takes some practice. I have an '05 Pete tandem with an ISM Cummins and a 10 speed, the Cummins is hard to shift because the rpm's drop like a rock when you let off the throttle, I have to rev mine to 15-1600 and then shift quickly.

In low range, especially empty, you have to be pretty quick on the on the shifts.

Once I get it in high range I'm getting decent at shifting without clutching, but this slow speed stuff is giving me fits. I'm having a terrible time shifting in low range especially 2-3-4. Just bought my first semi, a Kenworth with an Eaton Fuller nine speed.
