[AT] good view of shifting a 13 speed roadranger

[charliehill]

Maybe not Frank but every truck the man I worked for owned had a RTO 12513 
or 9513.  He and his other drivers taught me how to drive them.  That's the 
way all of them shifted it and I never saw one of them fail.  I'm sure it's 
possible to screw it up and like I tried to imply in the other post, it's 
not the way a rookie needs to shift it.
