    Well the mechanic called back today and he said he thought the 13 speed was the way to go but he still has to get me a price.

    The 15 speed I drove had a switch that had its own 5 gears that where lower. Not split. It had a 2.79 rears. So if u wanted to take off with a heavy load up hill would put in low low 1. But you didn't split the gears in low low. Low low had 5 gears that where separate. If that makes sense.
