Shifting a 15 speed?

reminds me of a super 13

 

DOH! i meant super 10

where you dont back track though the gears

just spilt each gear

R 3/4 7/8
1/2 5/6 9/10

 

Isnt that an 18? I drive a newer pete with an eaton, missing the cap.

R 2 4
1 3 5 with range splitter, it also has a
red thumb button that splits uppers into half gears

 

Guys, I apologize for digressing here, but this seems like a good spot to ask my question. I am getting into commercial hauling after doing it for my business for several years with an old Freightshaker 9 speed hauling a large Front end loader. I expect eventually to haul some military equipment. Most will not be overweight. But it will still be close to a standard legal load. My Freightshaker has a straight 9 speed, but also have had a Super 10 (loved it). And have driven an 18 speed, which I liked also. The truck I am looking at has a 13 speed, and I have never hauled with this trany. Question: Is there that much of a difference between the 18 and the 13 that I am gona have problems hauling heavier loads with the 13? Should I pass it up and continue to look for an 18 speed. Any opinions?

 

The 13 is the same as your 9...with mid (half gears) on the high end. You will enjoy the 13 especially when you get a slight incline and can drop the half gear...210 rpm exchange in 13, as 450-500 rpm for the ten

gear pattern: from the sticker of Eaton Fuller R 1/5 3/7
LO 2/6 4/8

5-6-7-and 8 have the splitter (side switch) shift at 1100-1300 rpm.

Unless you are going to be pulling excessive weights on steep hills from a full stop..you shouldn't need the 18..the bottom set are for real tough situations...on the highway you wouldn't even see below 8 or 9 from a stand still.

 

Thats what I figured. Thanks for the Feed back.

 

I've only had one and it shifted like Powder Joints says. It was old thou, like 70 or so. You can look on the door plate and get the transmission information and then look on the net.

 

What was the purpose of the 4/5 reversed 15? Extra confusion?
