Splitter problems

HighPlains · Sep 2, 2012

When splitting the first 5 gears(18 spd) high to low or vice versa, the split takes place instantly, without breaking the torque with the throttle, resulting in the slamming into gear. Any ideas why?

I split it the instance I take my foot of the throtlle. Sometimes I take it out of gear split it and pop it back in the same hole. How long have you had the problem?

I have read that you should only move the splitter after pre-selecting the gear you want and should never split while in neutral. I am not saying you are wrong. I am just a little confused as to the correct way to use the splitter. I drive a 10 speed so don't have the opportunity to split.

There is no reason why a split couldnt be made in neutral. The only reason not to preselect a split too long in advance is to eliminate pressure on the selector fork in the rear of the gearbox. If a split is made the only thing holding it in gear is torque, therefore when the split has been selected, you are comitted and have to make the change. If you decide not to make the change, rather split it back.
