Splitting gears

How'd you like the brownie ??
One of the one I had could shift with a finger at any rpm and the other one couldn't shift it hooked to a com-a- long

 

Very little. To be honest I found the 2 sticks easier for me myself.

Friend out west bought a Peterbilt with a 5x4 divorced transmission setup, still used this style knob….

 

All the old Macks we had with 21s were tri sticks

 

I only drove one a few times behind a 1693 in a wrecker. I learned on a 5x4 so understood the brownie concept, but I couldn't make that shift smoothly to save my ###. I'm not sure if it was me or something wrong with the Spicer.

 

I didn't know they made an air shift divorced brownie. Interesting.

 

Old irrelevant stuff from the 70's and 80's.

 

You asked for input from old ......... people!

 

Old, yes. Irrelevant.....never.

 

If I was restoring an old truck with Spicer sticks in it I'd pull that out and put a modern 18 speed in it. This guy did just that.
