Built a Parkway pulling bellies with a retired logger tractor that had the 5 & 4 in 2001 that was 4 lanes & 7.2 mi long. That old truck was king of the parkway....in Reverse. Lol

My Mack did well in reverses with that 15 speed rotating knob. I just cannot hold her beyond a certain speed. She gets the wriggles on me. And that horrible hop across both axles. boing boing boing and bigger BOOIIINNNGGG that causes the steers to get light on the pavement.

4 ways on. GOAL as many times as necessary. Reset if necessary. I will, however, turn my headlights off at night while I’m backing into a spot hoping to not blind the person across from me. I have found that being extra cautious while reversing has made the whole learning curve much easier.

about 30 percent of all accidents occur when vehicles are moving in reverse.

I drive a mixer so I gotta back down a lot of roads since there is no room to turn around.
Reverse hi-> truck shudders and shakes-> off to the races! -

Nah, 8LL
I’ve been trying to find a way to get it moving in reverse with a load on without it bucking or burning up the clutch. Pretty much un avoidable
I love this transmission though, it’s good off road with all it's low gears.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
