Stacks and piles of them. 22 tons on a 185 horse Thermodyne quad tri-axle in curvy hills. 10 m.p.h. all over again. I feel the sweat popping right now.
I should learn about a Mack Tri Plex 15 speed and I live with autism but my personal preference for that truck is to pull cement tankers, awesome truck
This is why the 13 speed was invented. God what a pain in the fucking ass. If you got both sticks in neutral you would have to stop the truck and start again.
When I started driving I got to drive a 1961 Mack Thermodyne COE with a 18 speed Triplex transmission. Toughest dam transmission I've ever drove. Of course this tractor had a 161 horsepower engine so if you had any type of load on your were shifting a whole lot. Someone else blew the engine up in that thing, I should have giving him $100 just for the effort.
Funny people swap LS and shit like that for easy simple life but I never heard they do some complicated stuff or hard things..I have this dream to build a '55 based GMC dually with this transmission or twin shift..do these triplex do lil more speed??
Hook that arm around the wheel! It's how my dad and granddad taught me how to drive those concrete trucks when I was 11. Or, as some call 'em: cement mixers. Haha. Great video and smooth shifting!
Nice job. I am not a fan of shifting without the clutch , going thru the auxiliary gears is not difficult, but when you master going from 3rd to fourth without any grinding you got it down. I know from experience. Again you did great!
My grandfather drove one of these when he worked for frozen food express back in sixties or seventies. Honestly, one stick is enough for me, three would have me twisted like a pretzel.
When I was driving limos in San Diego, a fellow cabbie told me about a truck called a Triplex that it took both hands to shift. I figured it to be just curbside bullshine, like drivers are known for whipping up to help time pass. Little did I know...!
SURTE it is. You get to impress a lot of people going through a PILE of shifting between lights. I used to time it to get caught so I cound snatch a few.
Odd. I see the high/low range but not a splitter. I'm a bit confused where he's getting 15 from that. Aren't most a 6 speed pattern with a high/low totalling 12 or a 5 speed pattern with a high/low totalling 10. Adding a splitter to add a third layer.
Why is it, people think it's cool to swap cogs without a clutch? If ya think crunching and clicking gears is a good look, best ya stick to an auto. And yes, it can be done.
68 model pete, Have to agree with you there, so many Americans seem to think it's wrong to use the clutch, why do they think it's there? apart from pulling away, in the uk with our synchromesh boxes we always use the clutch, they don't like working without it, some of the older trucks could be shifted without the clutch, but they're mainly in preservation now.
Here in America, manufactures have been designing transmissions for some time now to be shifted "without" the clutch. If you're hearing gears clicking and crunching, then YOU ARE NOT DOING IT RIGHT ! I learned to drive using a "Double Clutch" method, but soon learn to "sync" those gears with timing and the accelerator when necessary, and I'm here to tell you, many a driver (including myself) can shift these things without so much as scratching a gear. If you can hear em clanking, you are doing it all wrong.
Yep passing the test double clutch... After awhile you learn speed floating, gotta have it in a gear. Smooth, oilfield water hauler., When mech comes in meeting holding up a clutch plate and it's shiny. Somebody getting it shoved up their gear box ass
My God, stop with all the reaching through the steering wheel shit, totally unnecessary, that's why you're clipping so many gears before the mesh opens up, relax there's no need to force a triplex
Now THIS looks like a Fast and Furious worthy gearbox!
You sir are a shifting badass!
the good old trucking days ,two sticks, no power steering and no a.c.
+lanny ross Thats the best way with the windows down. And working hard.
We like to sweat and feel nasty I see.
2/55 a.c. 2 windows down and 55 m.p.h.

lanny ross ::: and i don't care 2 go bac 2 dem day's !!!
That is incredible shifting !! Especially shifting both sticks at the same time !!!
All that shifting for 30mph. I love it
If you can drive that folks you are a master truck driver!!!

Shifting like in Fast&Furious ;)
Hahah exactly :D
This guy is good! Notice no shifting between the steering wheel spokes and through the wheel. Like I said, this guy is good - a real pro.
Shifting two hands......sweet memories !
Thats the proper way with trucking unlike now days.
Get it! I grew up driving a 63 b model no power steering damn steering wheel broke a finger once coming back around. Good ole days.

Phil I heard about how they were the hardest trucks to drive out there. lol.

Right, I think I will stop complaining about the sluggish auto trucks my company recently got...

how does he text and facebook while he is driving like the guys today ?
+warren michael your not sposed to do that.
yeah i thought so.

There's an even more complex to operate transmission called a quadruplex.
Slow them shifts down, it's a long day.
"Joseph" A trailer and good size load would slow the shifts, waiting for the rpms to build so you can go to the next gear.
That's the way my dad used to do it. Reach thru the steering wheel to split the sticks. Was in many a b model Mack.
I drove one of those through Manhattan, over the Williamsburg Bridge into Brooklyn. Fun times.
Busy day at the office!
I don't miss them at all !
PROPS To you my friend I heard from plenty that those triplex's were the hardest trucks to drive EVER.
Grab it and go. I was a quad man myself. Basically the same thing with a compound lo-lo.
Bob Reimer drove these trucks across Canada and USA. Please check out his song he wrote

Точно не уснешь за рулем :D
He has a bench seat. My old U model had a Milk crate for the passenger.
U model , roll down passage window without even leaning over!!!
You know its real manual when you change gear with both hands. 😁😁😁😁
So you're saying it's not a good "around town" truck?
SURTE it is. You get to impress a lot of people going through a PILE of shifting between lights. I used to time it to get caught so I cound snatch a few.
Thanks .Memories...
This guy is good .shifting this mack
Посмотрел бы я на него в московских пробках)
This guy is good boy.
So you think you can drive a stick?! Try this!
I plan on learning how to drive a twin stick, three on the tree and a normal manual trans (I drive a auto sadly)
The good old days of trucking. Try shifting line that with 80,000 pounds behind you
Learned to drive truck on a tri plex
i am no truck driver but wish to start whit it. it looks like Clutch is not a common used thing :P great driving though :)
It has a bench seat😊😊😊
good shifting there man. floated them and didn't miss any!
SteamGent except for the grinding.
Odd. I see the high/low range but not a splitter. I'm a bit confused where he's getting 15 from that. Aren't most a 6 speed pattern with a high/low totalling 12 or a 5 speed pattern with a high/low totalling 10. Adding a splitter to add a third layer.
5 speed main and 3 speed axillary .
Was he doing all that shifting to go to the 15th gear?
Thanks for the vid!
Fascinating and incroyable!!!!)))
impressive
if you cant find it grind it amirite?
Love it
very nice
Trem doido !
Thief : what the hell is this
high skill

dam! like a boss!!
WOW WERIGOD
Muito. Otimo.
Замучаешься переключаться пока 90 наберёшь.
we did that years ago with 2 hands but now we can't talk on our cell phone .
набалдашник плексигласовый с розочкой или паучком?
lucky there in a box cant loose them
All engine speed....
what time of quarter?
Try doing it with ONE hand as it was designed to be used. nothing clever about both hands off the wheel.
if i drive that truck i cant stop :) ahahah fucking shifting
на 39 секунде он на какой передаче?
+Евгений Новицкий по очереди 14 по включению 2 и 5
O co tu chodzi?
اخه با این لگن دنده عوض کردن دیگه ژست اومدن داره
и к чему это???
anybody who feels the need to shift w2 hands really cannot drive a 2 stick mack
That just seems horribly unsafe, having to use you elbow to steer while you select gears. I don't know how those old pros did it. Nice work.
Get Gud Scrub
what
No reason to go to the gym anymore
rookie butcher!!! do it right. smooth like an automatic. i will show u how to do it !!!!
And???
Not a triplex
That is NOT the proper way, it was not designed to be used with both hands off the wheel, it doesn't achieve anything.
Que mentira el chok que . Porque el pie isquierdo no lo usan . Jaja ni ustedes mismos se lo creen
My God, stop with all the reaching through the steering wheel shit, totally unnecessary, that's why you're clipping so many gears before the mesh opens up, relax there's no need to force a triplex
That's dumb af hahahahaha
Damn,a shifting race.must have going to a fire.not impressed.
30 shifts, camera pans to the speedometer. Dude is going 15 mph.
No clutch.like a fuckin boss.nice work
