The problem with "floating" the gears in a gas truck is that the throttle is a torque control, not a speed control. In a diesel truck the throttle is a speed control, it works the setting of the governor, so its a whole lot easier to back off the speed slightly to get the truck coasting but not yet pushing the engine to pull out of a gear cleanly, and then to set the engine speed for matching the next gear so it goes in without force or even working the synchronizers. There just isn't that engine speed control (and with the higher speeds of a many cylinder gas engine it harder to hear or feel the speed close enough) on the gas engine. Gerald J.
