    ok, correct me if i m wrong, the gear shift knot show C, R, 1/4, 2/5, 3/6, AUTO and Hold...if in auto mode it should be running in fully auto but we can still shift up or down gear by the split button. but i dont know how if i want to shift in manual mode...
    any idea?
    the gearbox is 12+2 forward gear and 2 reverse?

    and if going down hill, how to select a gear for better engine brake?

    use auto. C- is lowers gear for heavy conditions (crowler)

    In manual mode you can use any gear you want.

    Yes, it si 12+2 tranny, in the USA it is called 14 st, in Europe they call it 12 st +2

    when you run down a hill you can use downshift buttons in auto mode. But when you accelerate ore slow down tranny switches to auto mode selecting other gears

    1/4 2/5 3/6 is imitation of manual shift pattern, range is lesected automaticly

    ok, in manual mode, i shift from 1,2,3 and go for 4 gear just shift the gear knot to 1 gear position and they will change to high range to continue with 5,6 gear right?

    every gear can shift with splitter button means half gear?

    thanks alot
