    You get used to it, it was nice in moderately congested traffic. You could get down around 15 mph without dropping ranges.

    Huh. Makes sense I guess...

    I’ve never shifted anything but a 10 speed and a 13...

    Any other pattern is foreign. Always figured 9s were typical straight truck business. But I’ve seen quite a few OTR trucks with them.

    1000s of ways to skin a cat?

    I was speaking more figuratively, but I guess that could work if they con't call your bluff? College town rentals is a whole other world, and so would be higher rent areas I imagine.

    9 speeds were real popular in the 80’s

    So anything .73 or .74 final. Usually straight forward to change out?

    Around here it was the 10 speed, when I went out west is seemed like the 9 speed.
