thomastractorsvc Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I wonder how that works out on down shifting on the curves, one stick is already almost touching the wheel, wonder what DOT would say if he wrecked, ditto on sitting on the floor Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

jakebrake86 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I didn't realize it was a 13 but I guess you guys are right. I remember seeing a conversion kit in Largecar magazine or something like that...

dds92780 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 That turbo is nuts! It sounds like he has a ton of useful power. I might get sick of that sound after awhile though, its not a gradual boosting experience like a mack. Still sounds good though. Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Green Dash Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Too bad he doesn't have a free hand to turn the Jake off and the wipers on.Is it necessary to move the stick into neutral whens splitting? He does that here ( assuming the stick on the left is the splitter, middle stick is the shift lever, and right stick is hi/lo.) I have not driven a late model 13 speed but the instruction plate on the old ones stated that the driver only needed to back off the throttle. The other video is with the stock setup and he does it there also.

I sometimes shift the super 10 in my truck like that...just flip the button pop it out if gear then right back in, kinda makes a faster shift. If you have a Jake though you wouldnt really need to di all of that......hes just trying to be Billy Big Rigger...lol Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

The other video is with the stock setup and he does it there also.I have found on the 18 sometimes it works alittle better taking it out of gear. Usually just flipp the switch and back off and get back on the throttle. I like the set up. Didn't know they had the set up to put handles on the air shift. Would like to put the low high on the dash like the rear selector is and just have the splitter and the main coming thru the floor. Only reason is was told by you guys along time ago to much motor for a actual 2 stick and this would be the next best solution for the look. Or leave the hi/lo on the shifter and move the splitter to another shifter. That turbo would get annoying all day wonder what kind of power he is putting down. Sounds good though Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29051-3-stick-shifting/#findComment-153929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took out the stock shifter and mounted 2 old style range buttons on the lever and topped it off with a classic shift knob. He said no one would drive his truck because it was now too confusing.

Here are the driver's comments:"The one at the top is the range splitter (bottom box to top box), the one at the bottom is the gear splitter (direct and over) and it's reversed, when it's up, it's in direct, haha. I mainly enjoy it because the other drivers don't know how to drive it, so they leave it alone.

other dog Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 That's like most of the ones I drove when I drove cabovers. Here's an old polaroid of the interior of a '74 Transtar with a VT903. This was a RT9513 ,13 spd.direct.Some 13 spds had the same type knob but it had 3 positions on it- lo, direct, and hi. They didn't have the separate range selector valve as shown, you just went through the bottom 5 in low, moved the button to the middle position "direct" for your range shift, then split the top 4 direct/overdrive normally.I've driven both types in the same year truck, and both were Transtars. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
