I have a 77 IH Transtar with a Rto-9513. It had the chrome shift knob with the split valve on the side. That one developed an air leak and was replaced a few years back with the new style 13 speed knob. It's a farm truck that doesn't see much use. I can't recall if the split function worked before the new knob was put on but now I have no air to the red splitter line on the rear of the trans when the valve is in OD split. There is a clear, black, green, and red air line going into the splitter valve on the gearshift. Is the new knob not a direct replacement for the round chrome one?

The splitter valve shifts when I supply it with shop air. But isn't getting air from the shift valve.

There should be 4 or possibly 5 small air lines going to the valve on the shifter, 2 are supply lines. One supply line has air pressure all the time and the other has air pressure when in high range. One line controls the slave valve on the side of the transmission and another controls the splitter. If there is a fifth line it will be an exhaust for the shifter valve that exhaust below the floor. The line that has pressure in high range supplies the splitter control valve on the shifter its marked H/L in the diagram the valve should have the same marking where the line connects.
There was an update to the splitter shift collar and fork in the early 1980's. If the transmission still has the original splitter shift collar and fork you have to shift it properly or the fork and collar will wear out very fast. Fuller said: Do NOT PRE-SELECT when shifting the splitter. In other words when the splitter shift valve is shifted the shift needs to take place immediately not a second or two later when you release the throttle. I'm hoping someone here will chime in and maybe better explain hot to shift the splitter. -
Maybe this thread will help?
