    I bought an old style shift knob, a4491, splitter knob. It has 4 ports on the bottom. There is a thread for the 3 position knob, How to change to an old style (A4487) shift knob

    I'm assuming that plumbing the range will be easy, but does anybody know how to plumb this one?

    The old 3 line knobs used a different slave that's no longer available.

    If what your putting on is a 4 line it will plumb like your new style knob

    This is only the splitter. The range is s plunger. I have 4 lines going to the handle, but 2 are for the splitter and 2 are for the range.

    Seems fairly self explanatory, I would think. Red line to the one marked “E”, blue to the one marked “S”, and the other ones may be determined by where you prefer your “split” vs direct.

    If it’s not that simple, then I’ll shut up now. :)

    The plunger is in the mail. That should be easy to hook up. Then hopefully it well work out with the other 2 lines. I'll report back after I've done it.

    It is really self explanatory. Main thing after you get your plunger working right is make sure air to the split is dead with plunger in low

    Sorry for the late update. I checked to see which were supply, and hooked them up to the plunger and splitter. Got it right the first time.
