    10 gears is not enough as is! Can't imagine only having 9...

    Google your question you can find the shift pattern for most trannys. Also you should understand there's a difference between a splitter and high and low range.

    Every 9 speed I've ever seen has five low gears, and four high.

    Check the model number on the 9 speed. Some of them can be converted to a 13 speed for just a few hundred dollars.

    The extra gear can mess you up if you are used to the other shift pattern.
    And the RPM will be a bit different with the shift points.

    Going from the 9 to the 10 may be easier. It will be like you are skipping one gear.
    Just watch the RPM's and you should do fine.


    Going from the 10 to the 9 is harder, because of that extra gear to the far left and down.
    Just remember not to go there when you are downshifting. Stay in the middle.
