    Low Range

    R 2 3
    |-|-|
    1 4 5

    All bottom gears can be split

    High Range
    R 7 8
    |-|-|
    6 9 10

    High range can't be split.

    This was the shift pattern of the 15 speed I had years ago.

    The pattern I gave you was out of my Pete, but I can't remember if it was a double over or the year. Short term memory loss due to the fact it was a company ride.

    The 15 I drove did not split the lower gears, it was a double reduction in the lower 5. You could go from the reduction gears (1-5) and hit the spliter to go to 4th, then continue on up the high side.

    I drove a 97 379 that had the same shift pattern. I didn't use the double reduction gears unless I was loaded heavy and starting out on a hill.

    Never saw a 15 shift like that, mine was just like a 10 speed. on the newer one, RTX. the old one the last two holes were reversed (4@5 holes) RTO. 5th, 10th, and 15 were against the dash. the lower 5 gears were like LB say's, but you can go from 3 to six or a couple of ways
