yeup. Basic shift pattern is.
R 1 3
L 2 4
Theres two switches located on the shift knob. One for lo-lo gears (On the side that you switch with your thumb) This includes lo Reverse, lo lo, lo 1, 2, 3,and 4. They really dont get used unless your in dirt.
Then you have your midrange. This is when the hi-lo switch thats on the front of the knob is down. This includes Reverse, L, 1, 2, 3, 4. Unloaded, I can start moving in 1st, or 2nd. Loaded then I gotta use L or even the lo-lo range.
Normal conditions I use this pattern. L or 1st to start from a stop in the midrange. then 2nd, into 3rd. Flip the hirange switch up, and go back to L, then 1, 2, 3, and finally 4. It takes a bit to get used to.
The thing is fun to drive, currently I have a class B license with air brake endorments. May 5th I take my road test for tractor/trailers. I hope I pass.
