He didn't say it was an auxiliary transmission! He said it's an auxiliary as in auxiliary stick! He even made sure to explain that it was a splitter and not an auxiliary transmission, like a 6 and a 4! You just want to show that you know what an auxiliary transmission is, as if you're the only one who knows! Learn to listen and not talk, or in this case, type!
I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 and I was curious to know how the gear changes in these American trucks were. Here they are prohibited from working by law due to the wheelbase. I noticed that you didn't use a clutch, around here people said that these gears were difficult to engage but in your video you proved completely the opposite. Sensational video.
Really interesting! Thanks for sharing and taking the time. All these random gate keepers going on about their "real" transmission configurations crack me up
They’re talking about a real twin stick where each stick is connected to a separate transmission: the main and the auxiliary; they’re not “gate keeping,” they’re simply stating a fact that this video shows a single transmission with one stick to shift the gears and the other as a splitter (i.e. it isn’t a true twin stick, auxiliary transmission set up like is stated in the video).
Just so all the younger guys know….. the REAL twin stick 18 speed is a 6 and a 3. Which is 6 speed main trans and a 3 speed auxiliary. What you see in this video is actually just a normal 18 speed with the gray button removed and transferred to an air switch mounted in the floor connected to a stick. This set up can be used on any transmission that has an air switch either for high and low range or a splitter. The reel to stick 18 speed had one transmission mount it to the engine, which was the six speed, then had a short drive shaft and a second transmission, which is a three speed then a long drive shaft that went to the drive axles. If you look underneath this truck in the video, you will simply see one transmission with one stick. There is no linkage to a second transmission.
I love the sound of the sticks making the cling clang noise as u shift. Old school sounds I remember when I was a young'n to my late grandpa and late uncles knees as they drove and I was riding shotgun 😁 good memories
basically: when you reach max rpm at low, you shift not the gear but the range to high, and when you reach max rpm on high you shift to next gear in low and you continue that loop until you ran out of gears?
Depends on a few factors. I've got a 12-speed that works with a different range system where you basically shift the first six gears normally (though they're not synchronized so there's a lot of grinding gears if you don't rev-match) and go into high range for gears 7-12. I usually set off in 3rd, then shift into 5th, into high range, 7th, and normally from there on out, if I don't carry heavy load. In this system, I'd start in 1st high range, proceed to 2nd high range, 3rd high range, 4th high range and then start also using low range gears from 5th. Again, without heavy load.
It's a stick with the range selector moved to the dash and the splitter mounted on the floor with a broomstick on it. The 5&4 I learned on was a real twin stick. This is a joke.
Exactly correct. The right stick is moved and no shift takes place until he backs off the throttle to get enough float so the trans splits the gear. It's a Fuller Roadranger 18 for sure.
Awesome video Driver!! Truck sounds Awesome glad to see there’s still some drivers out there !! And that’s it !! Love it thanks for sharing! Be cool on the stool ! WHOOP & RIDE !!! We’re out !
Love these splitter kits, I installed these in both my W900L and 379EH Peterbilt, I grew up on twins and tri stick and this is a neat nostalgic toy. Not to mention a mild anti theft device lol.
Nice Rig Brotha I always wanted to drive 18 speed never driven one I only drive a 10 speed Peterbilt lol Pretty cool Love the Videos Watching from Amarillo tx
To all the people hating on it for not being a true twin stick, most of us realise the old proper twin sticks like Spicer boxes and this are not the same thing. If this is your thing then enjoy the vid. If it’s not, move on. Far too much negativity in this industry now as everyone seems to expect everyone to do it their way or it’s wrong. This guy has made a fun mod to his modern box to enjoy his driving. No one said you have to agree with it or like it.
PACCAR reports over 80% of all new trucks ordered from them are Being ordered with automated transmissions. BECAUSE young new drivers dont know how to shift a heavy simi transmission properly and the big companies are tired of the extra expense of replacing clutches burnt up while these drivers learn. !
@@Cabover_Kid I just recently got to ride on one that had a Spicer box, I believe 6+4, it was bonkers tho and got to drive it around for like 2 hours...didn't think shifting could get anymore complicated lol
So each gear has a low and high setting that you adjust with the second stick? So what is the difference between a air splitter and auxiliary stick? I’ve never seen one before.
I like the concept. But you’re making work for yourself! It was designed for all the functions to happen on the gearshift for a reason. I’d like to see you with a 65t gross in the hills changing gears with that setup!
Thanks bro for the observations but it was NOT my truck and the load I had on was heavy but I am not so stupid to say how much... my only intention was to show someone else how to shift a setup like this if they so happen to run across one 👍
In all honesty M8! It wouldn’t take long to work it out if “A Driver” had to get in there and work it out. I was in fact having a light dig at how much of a wank it was to have a modern gearbox set up like that! And BTW you would have been lucky to be Grossing 30t. Just saying
That means the other sticks is the splitter? Is that just kind of an older version due to the 18 speed with just one stick (including splitter and range selector)?
An 18 speed is a single transmission. All this is is moving the convenience of the air valves being in a common place on the shift nob to the dash and a second stick as a novelty. A true twin stick is truly two separate transmissions. As more and more trucks become automatic you'll eventually see people hook long sticks to automatics as a novelty 😂
Kids today have no idea. How trucking used to be. 1st truck was a 1951 dodge duce and a half. Ex navy. Then i moved up to a 1959 ih, not much diff, maybe a little more power around 200. Concrete mixer with a 5 over 3 and another 3 speed stick for the mixer. Niw that was a truck. Several more over the years but, non as much fun as the esrly ones.
Ya well I’m here to say the truck he’s driving is not a twin stick it’s a standard 18spd with a stupid stick as the splitter it’s a joke most of these so called truck drivers couldn’t run a set of box’s if there life depended on it
Now your trucking. Too cool for old school. I first learned on a two stick, then I got a Road Ranger. Then I got a 9 speed. Then a got a freaking automatic. Then, I gave up and retired.
U can shift 5 gears with first shift and flip high switch on the dash shift last 4 without going back to the lo hole and every gear can be split with right shift... lol
Yea, but how long have you been teaching? Exactly. IDK what the second stick ACTUALLY does. He NEVER explained it. IDK what high/low meant. NEVER explained. There's a reason for truck driving school. You CAN'T teach this 2 or 3 minutes.
Naw, I wouldn't say that it looks wild and crazy. Maybe to someone who doesn't know what they're looking at, but not to us who do know. Clearly, this is only for us guys who loves to shift gears. It just makes it slightly more complex to give us something extra to do, bcuz we have already mastered the art of shifting and it becomes too easy. After while, you will need a triple stick to turn that range selector into a stick vs. a dash switch like you have it. Honestly, you mind as well had gotten a triple stick! Once that gets boring, you'll then need a quadruple stick. One for the low gears, one for the high gears, one to engage either the low side stick or the high side stick, and one to split, lmao! That's if that's even possible, lmao!
I actually want to drive a 5x4 myself... never had the opportunity but when I do get one I'll try to be sure to post it... this was a friend of mine truck that I work for
You (or someone) took the air switches off the main shift lever and mounted the range selector on the dash and the hi/lo switch on a second lever? That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Why would you do that?
you know that you can have all of that on the shifter knob? only 2 air switches that you operate with one hand! if you really want to pretend youre old school, get rid of your air conditioning, air ride seat, air ride suspension, power steering, and air ride cab. ditch your gps and cell phone. use maps and a pay phone. technology advances.... use it!
Driving a 15 sod road ranger in a white western star with a Titan 3900 concrete pump on it was a piece of cake.the 350 Cummins was a beast for harsh mixes. One gear shift with high lows. Come on man. Most so called drivers can’t turn a corner without curbing it. Unreal waste

Hi brotha trucker. Greetings from an opposite site of the Globe collegue. Wish you peace as well as to all people in tha World. Доброго пути, брат. ✌️
What happened to the up shift before down shifting? Excellent setup you have there, thanks for sharing your time and video.
The right shift lever acts the same as the gray splitter button on the normal 18spd shift lever

What the heck is a tri shift? Please explain.
Great job! I think that your trucks transmission is as easy as shifting an Eaton Fuller 10-speed transmission.
when you flip the high low switch are you going to where second would be or reverse?

Dam that's there is the smoothest shifting ever

This is a skill all its own I tip my hat to you
