    The mack I drive is a 06 13 speed Eaton fuller trans.. Here is a tip, when empty you don't have to split 5,6,7, but split 8. When loaded you spit, 5,6,7,8,..

    I have found the 13 speed to be the easiest to shift. It's a simple H pattern. The top side splits, H/L

    R.......2/6......4/8

    1.......3/7......5/9
