Lmackattack Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 single stick1st gear will be left and down, 2nd middle and up,3rd middle down. etc....the stick will have a splitter valve on it.....Direct "D", low "L", reverse "R", neutral "N"drive it like a standard 5 speed when empty, with the splitter in D.with a heavy load on start in 2/"L",accelarate through the gear to near max RPM, pull stick out of gear,quickly move splitter into "D" as you are moveing the stick down into 1st, accelarate through 1st"D",2nd "D",3rd "D" etc..... the up shift from 2"L" to 1"D" is a quick shift so practice!

mackmech Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 how about shifting a two stick with one arm through the steering wheel and using two hands? yipee! until you hit a bump that is. double clutching of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
