Its official may orientation 6/4/13

When I worked for May I think I only used the low gear once and that was to try and pull out of parking lot pothole

I drive a Volvo with an iShift automatic now, otherwise known as a lazy man trucker now.

I mean, just look at this pic

 

#### that's a funny picture!
So 18 speed is the same as 13 in regards to the high low range selector only difference all 18 speeds can be split.

 

18 Speed pattern

 

Well, I can tell you this much, as far as I'm concerned I don't care to ever go back to shifting gears again. It's not all it's cracked up to be, especially in rush hour traffic.

 

Im in an automatic, older one, I hate it, doesnt shift smoothly sometimes, i have to throw it into manual and shift it myself

 

Mine shifts as smooth as glass. No way I could shift manually the way the computer shifts mine. The thing I have to watch out for is taking off and raising the rpm's up too high, when I do that it delays the shift. However, like you I can switch to manual and shift to my hearts desire. Really wears my right thumb out though
