Mike,this is the best I can do without losing it all.Ron G
As I approached it the low hole in any of the auxilliary transmissions was about two ratios lower than a full gear in the main box so with that in mind you on;y used it in very slow traveling,basically any situation where you could just about slide your foot off of the clutch without fear of doing any damage to the drive line or your traveling conditions like getting stuck worse than you might be already.
Bear in mind that the "split" selection was chosen to "split" the chosen gear in to three seperate ratios devided between the main ratio chosen with the first upshift and the ratio arrived at once you completed the shift if you had not touched the other stick in the shift process.
Let me try to clear try a little.This will be an upshift splitting as we go.(1)Shift the main from first low split where you likely will be if you are doing it right to second low split,next will be the easy shift to second direct,not too fast,remember the engine RPM you have to match,next shift to second high split,match that RPM again,try to get it to sound good like the next shift whch is a long shift but it seperatees the men from the boys in this business.
Row your way to the top,never shift to fifth from anything but fourth high split as I don't think that fifth was designed to be used in any other way.
I no doubt missed some finer points here and it has been a few but you get the points.That was a well designed transmission combination and once you get the intentions behind it you will gain respect for the design and execution of it.Don't forget the grease fittings on the shift rails on the top of the transmission.Ron G
