Excellent video! 6 years a go I saw this video to see how shift this transmission... today I have my own car carrier thanks to this video... thanks very much.
Very nice video. Watching this actually ended all of my confusion concerning the "splitter" and the range buttons... Thanks for posting. You made some really smooth shifts. Awesome.
It's the best video on Y-T by far. What you did was outstanding about showing the reverse and the technical and regular way of putting it as 1 through 18 or the low and high. Phenomenal. Now, if you could make one on how to shift down, and one for 21,15,13,10. Thank you for everything
Love the video! Just makes me wonder why everyone seems to hate my love for the Renault B18 range-change/splitter box. Admitted, it won't split without clutch, but if you don't need to split, everything's OK. And if you need a split, you can touch the clutch, just remember the gear you split whichever way you move the box to. Oh, the endless stories I could tell about the sweetie..!
By far the most accurate video on to shift through 18 gears and all the ppl that say you don't use a clutch just dry shift it that's how you eventually wreck the box
@jaylu88 It is RECOMMENDED that you double clutch whenever you move the gear select to the next gear. (eg from 2nd HI to 3rd LOW.) This allows you use the accelerator to bring the rpms to the manufacturer's recommended shift range. (Depends on the make of rig you have) When you split a gear, you flip the splitter switch on the gear select, then break torque by letting off the accelerator, then reapply the accelerator. The transmission shifts automatically doing this.(eg 3rd LOW to 3rd HI)
@BlkM84 That is correct in most cases. Some transmissions have a double overdrive where the last gear in the main box is overdrive, and on the splitter the back position is direct and the forward position is overdrive. So top gear with splitter up is double overdrive.
I drove a 1998 Mack (I'm just guessing on the year), with an 18spd and I loved it. I could shift it much faster than this driver is doing and never miss a gear. I used to haul logs and bulk milk and it worked great for either job.
I finally got to understand how to shift through the gears of a "range-split manual" tranny in a mechanical horse by watching this video after having watched countless others...
+Chris Lee I made it to 0:10 and I was already done. How can I learn from somebody who can't even spell "reverse?" I didn't even watch the rest of the video.
@StraightSuccess This not my video, but this is how I did it. I drove semi's for 12 years. When downshifting I still "floated the gears". It gets tricky. the trick is to blip the throttle to get it out of gear, then rev the engine to the proper RPM and then slip it into gear. When going from 4th high to 5th low you do not have to use clutch. I have limited space here, so if u have any more ?'s feel free to ask. Hope this helps.
@brossmart Flip the switch, THEN release accelerator, (you can now single clutch half way) or re-apply the accelerator and it should shift for ya. When you are moving the stick, you can double clutch it (half clutch out of gear, half back into the next one). When shifting down on a splitter, release accelerator, flip the switch, move the shifter to the next lower gear, then match the RPMs and it should drop right in! Remember to slow with your brakes enough before trying to shift down.
Es un excelente video que muestra de dos maneras distintas como operar la caja Eaton fuller de 18 velocidades , o como decimos aca en Colombia la caja 1-8 con bajo a la caja, de todas maneras se entiende el video muy bien, se les agradece su tiempo disponible para transmitir estos videos.Felicitaciones. CONGRATULATION MISTERS.
great video.. Do you have to spit every gear?? We also got 18 speed in the MAN and Mercedes Trucks but most the time you can shift the hole gear till 6 and then when your loaded your split gear..
para cambiar de corta/low (L) a larga/hoigh (H) es necesario pisar el embrague de los camiones o solo hay que pulsar el selector to change the selector from L to H is necessary to depress the clutch trucks or just need to give the button? muchas gracias por el video es muy bueno/ thanks for the video it's more it's very good
when moving the range selector from low to high and then switch gears, do you move to low while moving gears or can you move to low while in the same gear then move to next gear?
No you don't have to split every gear, depends on the load, however you can save fuel by splitting every gear and shifting at a lower RPM until you get into the higher gears.
Good comment because knowing what speed you were at when you UPSHIFT into any gear is a good clue that you should get to that same speed to DOWNSHIFT in as well.

FINALLY! A proper video of shifting an 18 speed! Thank you
Gino Byers ABSOLUTELY!!! My EXACT sentiments!😃😎
by far, the best demonstration of shifting pattern I saw on youtube. thank dude!! :-)

damn straight I also drove truck to 8 speed though
Thats pussy. Take ur gay air shifting else where. U physically shift a 10 speed more starting in first.
Hands Down The Best Instructional video for a rookie wanting to see the proper way to drive the 18 speed. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.....
Excellent video! 6 years a go I saw this video to see how shift this transmission... today I have my own car carrier thanks to this video... thanks very much.
One of the best shifting videos, I have seen on youtube.
Thanks
just starting back into trucking again, this video was excellent.
Very nice video. Watching this actually ended all of my confusion concerning the "splitter" and the range buttons... Thanks for posting. You made some really smooth shifts. Awesome.
Helps me a lot about the splitter thank you for this video. All the way from Fiji Island ✌️✌️
Thank you sir, this has got to be the most helpful instructional video on the Internet for shifting an 18 speed, thank you again.

Awesome video this help me a lot with my driving career as a dump truck driver

The best video tutorial I've seen thus far. Thank you!!
what a clean and clear video..loved to watch
that was the best shifting video i have seen yet
Proper shifting demo right here!!! God bless brother!
FACT OF THE CENTURY: THIS IS THE VERY BEST NO NONSENSE 18 SPEED SHIFTING VIDEO ON THE PLANET... WELL DONE!!!
This man is the FN MAN!!!!!THX SO MUCH DUDE. I HAVE A RD TEST TMRW NEVER DRIVEN AN 18SPD. WISH ME LUCK. THX AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP.
By far the most accurate video on to shift through 18 gears and all the ppl that say you don't use a clutch just dry shift it that's how you eventually wreck the box
You dont need clutch with fuller
@jaylu88 It is RECOMMENDED that you double clutch whenever you move the gear select to the next gear. (eg from 2nd HI to 3rd LOW.)

Tks buddy best I seen yet on YT
Very nice! Smooth, precise and done properly!
Amazing this is the best video so far that I've watched for this.
Thank you so much what I have been looking for!
Very great video. Simple and illustrated
@BlkM84 That is correct in most cases. Some transmissions have a double overdrive where the last gear in the main box is overdrive, and on the splitter the back position is direct and the forward position is overdrive. So top gear with splitter up is double overdrive.
Thank you. I appreciate your video, it was a good refresher for me. Keep your bottom side down and the upside, up.
mejor video que eh visto hasta ahora ...gracias ..
dam i got my class 1 and 16 hours in training and i didnt understand how it works now i know, thanks for the video this is the best

Great video very simple for anyone to understand how the split works

Solid....

I finally got to understand how to shift through the gears of a "range-split manual" tranny in a mechanical horse by watching this video after having watched countless others...
the best I've seen
I agree on being the best, straight forward all the others had me scratching my head, since I haven't shifted anything over a 10 spd.
your video is the best now give us one of you down shifting
thank you for this video! finally I understand how to do it ;)
thank you for video..
Great video..
I am happy to handle 12 gears but 18.. WOW..
THX 4 Share..
Great video , easily shown . Thnx
Best instruction on youtube so far!
+Chris Lee I made it to 0:10 and I was already done. How can I learn from somebody who can't even spell "reverse?" I didn't even watch the rest of the video.
+MetallicaPlaya24 Well，ur right but he can't spell doesn't mean he can't drive
+Chris Lee ....Agreed =D

Good descriptive video.The shifting can be seen good.
Nice video, can you do a downshift video on the 18th
Good comment because knowing what speed you were at when you UPSHIFT into any gear is a good clue that you should get to that same speed to DOWNSHIFT in as well.
Genial!! cada cambio son 4 en realidad. baja ,alta.baja multiplicada alta multiplicada.Mas claro imposible,,,like!!
Nice job driver!
I've never driven an 18....but I understand now. u got a low high in the lower 4 gears. Hell...simple enough. I'm sure i could drive it.
