Eaton fuller 8triple L with 3rd in the four slot.

Sounds goofy.....like a Mack 7-speed....

 

double over 8LL maybe?

iv drove a double over 9 that had the u shaped shift pattern.

most people refer to that shift pattern as a u pattern as you go left up left down around the corner to right down with top gear to the dash.

 

Well the term double over isn't really right. My old thirteen double over was the horseshoe or u pattern. The term double over came from a over drive in the front box driving an overdrive in the back box. Since the aux box on a double low is deep reduction there is only one over gear. Some where in the later trans missions they put a thrid rail in to make a u pattern an H pattern. I am so used to the horseshoe pattern I put an older top on my 20913B which made it a horseshoe pattern instead of an H pattern.

 

No such thing as a 8LLL, I'm sure it's an 8LL and has an over drive in the main box which is why high is up against the dash.

 

I've always heard it called simply "reverse pattern 8 spd" or 15 whatever the case may be. I missed it also when I went to an 18. No real reason though. When you were b.s.ing with other some guys would call it "going home gear " when the stick was up against the dash.

 

Both our 8LL have over drive in the main box (4th slot), and uses a standard H pattern.....I don't get what your getting at....

 

You probably have a X series top plate that allows it to be shifted that way.
