18 Speed Twin Stick

The kit is $528 and change, if you look it up it is a glorified air valve you do not actually get into the tranny. You might have to mess with it to get it to feel the way you want. Haven't run into anyone with it yet.

 

Look up CAT304C (I think) on YouTube.

he has a video of his 13 with 3 sticks.

Will post link when I get a chance

 

Buddy of mine had that and removed it when air valve started leaking. It was only for looks because it was just a shifter instead of high/low button.

Just when you thought two sticks were more than enough....there then was three. Wow. The guy in the video sure makes it look easy. Low, then splitting, taking it out of gear, then putting it back in for the high range, using the skull splitter.....too much commotion for me. I'll stick to one stick, though I would like to drive a two stick for fun.

 

This is the one to get. But its big money! http://www.outlawcustomshd.com/outl...nversion/outlaw-customs-big-stick-conversion/

There is an article on this setup starting on page 18 and installation on page 20 http://www.digitalmagazinetechnology.com/a/?KEY=customrigs-10-03springfull#page=19&zoom=0

 

IMHO I would have no desire to go back in time thirty five or forty years to the two stick transmissions, the new air splitter transmissions were such an improvement. I think back to when we had the manual four by four transmissions in the cabover tractors with the linkage slop, and all the irritations, or the two stick Mack trucks, and as well the trucks that had two completely seperate transmissions to accomplish this. No Thanks.

 

That's a lot of money for a 3 foot tall pneumatic toggle switch disguised as a real gear change lever.

BTW how are these illegal? They are "Outlaw" right?

 

I couldn't stop laughing. Stupidest thing I've looked at all week
