Default Re: changing gears

Hey Nathan, for "boxes" to work (1:1 truck's), the front tranny has to be a wide split or ratio's, and the rear or auxilary has to be a narrow split or ratio's. And shifting via rc, would be fun without having an accelerator pedal, LOL. It would bring new meaning to "twin stick's"

I've driven truck's with 4x4, 5x4, Allison 5 speed x 3 speed auxilary. 5 speed Allison with 2 speed rear end's was one of my favorite combination's, My first 10 wheeler had that setup.
I tried 2 wide split 4 speed's on my doodlebug tractor (see avitar), it's a (blankety blank) to shift, non syncroed trannies
Experience via the school off hard knock's and tired scrap metal, LOL!
2 speed splitter would be neat, and simple
Cheer's, Neil.
