This exactly why Super 10's got such a bad rap. Guys would slip them out of the 4 or 5 hole and let go of the stick and they'd try to range shift as soon as the shifter moved from the right gate.
Bad synchro - replace trans - grinding gears

Yeah a Rockwell transmission is an entirely different beast. Aparently they use solenoids to control air rather than a master air valve in the shift knob like Eaton's do.
RepoweredRookie Thanks this. -
They were awesome on flat ground, it was nice to be able to run around and never move the stick unless you dropped below 35mph. Like any 10 speed, the gear steps were too big and you always ended up coming off grades slower than you could with a 13/18.RepoweredRookie Thanks this. -

In an Eaton Road Ranger generally the range synchroniser packs it in if you are swapping between high and low with the main trans in neutral and you are rolling to a stop. This is quite a common practice with drivers. But it put both parts of the trans in neutral and the synchro is fighting to slow things down to match the speeds, but no where to go. If you listen you can actually here the synchros squealing
