just got my L 54 MACK back on the road and not used to the shifting double clutching ,start out in 2nd gear and have trouble sometimes getting into 3rd, have to stop and start again,sometimes catch it just right, also downshifting from 4th to 3rd, I know you have to catch the engine speed just right. would a tachometer help me or any other hints that would help shifting?

5.5 / 6 " should be your min. and at least 4000# with wire, our pole barn(a MORTON) 42X52 we had to build up with recycled concrete 6 to 18 " took about 50 tons ,power plate compact in 2" lifts, cover with plastic, wire . another important item is the expansion material, we used a recycled rubber material 6" high all the way around the building including around each post , we did all the prep work and the concrete crew did the pour/placement started at 7am and they where gone by 2 pm 40 cu yd including aprons , (7 GUYS)come back next day and saw cut joints in. HAS NOT CRACKED IN 5 YRS. -
