theakerstwo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Look for 5 postions in the main box. That would be 5 gears and to get a low hole gear put the stick in low or ist gear and then the back box in low. that is 6 gears. The low gear in the back box is to be used in the ist gear in the main box . glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/6864-twin-stick/#findComment-26821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
