    So you run in deep reduction for the first five. Move it out. Run the bottom five again. Then split to the top?

    Did I get it or no?

    I’m always amazed at the people that’ll lump the 15 in with the 13 and 18 like they’re the same kind of transmission. I usually assume they’ve never drive one.

    Question, my first Pete was a 15 over that 10th was against the dash we called it an “O pattern” is the 10 and 15 the only transmission that had high against the dash?

    My eviction notice, is take a red gas can full of water. Get them to the door, start pouring it on the porch, telling them they are leaving one way or another! Actually are duplex is in a nice neighbor hood. With two colleges in town we have had a lot of coaches, and grad students. With one the check comes from dad, wit D.D.S. after the name. Great deal I think.

    That's some real steel right there!! I got it way to easy with the equipment nowadays. That looks like work!

    I missed the sleeper in the floor at first glance. That's funny! Prolly pretty loud too.

    That one is referred to as the "U pattern" 15 speed. Had a buddy that had that tranny, I had the atypical "H pattern" 15 speed.
    I didn't have the experience back then I do now and didn't much care. I wanted an 18 and refused to even discuss anything else at the time, but I believe the U was and OD and the H was a Direct?

    I always pull off in deep low. Stay there all way through first five, split out of low and go into 4th gear then 5th. Then go to the high side and run her out. So essentially 12 gears I guess

    Well be safe @stwik! As of right now with the freezing drizzle like @Feedman mentioned 94 is a ice rink in our neck of the woods. The ditches are filling up!

    Nope, in deep reduction you shift 1-2-3-4-5 then come back to 4 as you shift out of deep reduction with the switch on the shifter then back to 5th the flip the range selector and come back to your leg for 6th and run the rest like a 10 speed.
