[AT] good view of shifting a 13 speed roadranger

[Frank]

If you will notice..he is shifting the red button before he shifts the main
stick.........if the main stick should happen to come out of gear just a
little soon or a little late it will make a big bang and sometimes if it
comes out with the bang the transmission will break off near the rear of the
case.....
You should shift them main first and as soon as it is in gear shift the red
one....

Did not mean to be too critical but it can happen and does .....

As Charlie has stated correctly(not disagreeing with you Charlie just be
careful when you do it that way) ......but if you end up letting up on the
throttle too quickly  ...and you have already flipped the red....bang

I only just started doing this so not the expert......(I started in 1956 and
still on the road as of yesterday and STILL not an expert)
A couple of the ones I have driven are on my web site and the one I drive
now loaded with cement and grossing 115,500.....

Transmissions I have run:
5 speed main and 4 speed Brownie
4 and 4 
5 and 3
Heavy 15
Roadrangers in 10 13 and 18 speeds

6 speed Alison Automatic
6 Speed Auto with 3 speed Brownie
And the best of all was
5 and 4 with a double reduction rear end.(3 sticks)

The most miles I have put on are with the 13 Eaton

Can you explain that a bit.  I have an International with a  roadranger. 
It's a 70's vintage with the "slide selector"  and red and  green air lines.

I only drove it a few miles and parked it.  It has  the DT 466 in it. Way 
underpowered for what I wanted the truck  for.
