First time driving an autoshift in 49 years of trucking. Gotten used to how to work with it. What I cannot figure out is how it has 14 gears. 1-13 plus a low. I've never encountered such a thing. How would you get 14 gears if it was manual? Maybe a 13 plus an air selected low range? This is a new one on me.
14 speed transmission?

You don't usually count reverse. EG 18 speed=18 fwd gears, 13 speed = 13 fwd and so on. This thing has 14 fwd. Just thought I'd see if anybody was familiar with this trans.

I’m not familiar with it but years ago spicer had a 14 speed. They also had a 20 speed. A 7 speed main with an air shift hi-lo would give you 14 speeds
04 LowMax Thanks this. -
This one has L, plus 1-5, then it does a range shift goes to 6, and sounds like it splits the top end, like a 13.

Really a 13 speed is a 14 speed. Low in the high range is redundant of 4th in the lo range, so we don't use it. But if you did, you could split it giving you 14.
