I used to get caught when I first bought truck. Then rev motor a tad and bump compound back into a gear. I dont know why you cant use 5th in direct and low split but I heard the gears are spining to fast of the ratios are so close its useless to use those gearsįred, if you get both in neutral.just slow down a bit til you can slip main back into a gear. 13 Item Current Part Description Replaced Part Qty. 1996 Peterbilt 379 long hood, N14 cummins with 6' Dynaflex mufflers/miter cuts, double overdrive 18 speed, eaton 3:90 rears.

However the shift from "low" to "direct" has to be done carefully as if the truck is still climbing out of a hole you likely will miss shift as the slow road speed will fall very quick. So basicly its like splitting 1st gear in half with the aux box. After the truck is out of the hole mud etc.and on flat level ground you would shift the aux box from "low" to "direct" accelarate then shift 2-3-4-5 with the main. If you are very heavy or in a hole and need to climb out you would put the aux or compound box into "low" and use the main in 1st. you only shift the main stick (closest to your leg).1-2-3-4-5 the aux box stays in "Direct" A6918 Eaton Fuller Style 18 Speed Shift Knob Shifter/Transmission Parts Heavy Duty Trucks Replaces Eaton Fuller A-6918 A5013 Shift Knob Eaton Fuller Style 13.
