Anti-theft device.

Add a few more gears. And then you are correct.

Is this one below even real?

 

That truck doesn't look that old.

 

I thought these were the parking assignments for the boys in dispatch.

 

I believe that is just a 13 speed... The splitter and range selectors have been just been changed from air to manual.

 

Who knows, there has been some weird stuff built. I looked at a mack tranny once that was a married 2 box unit, with 2 shifters and an air splitter, iirc it had 4 positions. It was on a pallet, not in a truck. I wanted to buy it and stick it in something,just to see what the heck it was. lol

 

You really want to confuse the driver? Ask them to drive a military truck from the 1970's

 

Mack trany was similar, except revers was on the aux. We used to call them dummy 13 spds, cause thye were hard to break
Mack also had a single shift 10 speed, with iirc a 4 position splitter one position was nuetral, one was reverse. lol
You had 10 reverses in it. lol

 

I’d like to see a robot try and shift that
