    I never have a problem playing in neutral... only has the one side switch, my 8 has the regular hi/lo on the front and the granny switch on the side, (thats what fouls me up once in a while..)

    I would love to throw that idiot in a truck with a real set of sticks and watch him make an ### of himself.

    There's is something to be said for being able to run from 35 to 75 with only a split. Makes you lazy, though!

    The big phony! Either a 13 or 18 that he didn't split the low side. you preselected one split.

    The thought occurred to me that if a 9 speed can be converted to a 13 speed, as I did, what would be involved to make it an 18 speed? I could certainly use the splits in low range for better control on steep muddy "roads".

    Pretty sure you'd have to change the aux section. There's a component in the 13 speed aux section that isn't strong enough to last when splitting in low range.
     
    Hammer166 Thanks this.

    When I was a valet, I drove one once. It was a Citroën I think.
