MACKS Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's called a six speed,a five speed has no low,and low is only used in first gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheapleedone Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 OK now I'm confused.4 main gears in the first boxif only 1st gets split as some say, that be a 5 speed .can any body explain where the come up with 6 or 7 speeds not doubting,just need clarification.

theakerstwo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Look for 5 postions in the main box. That would be 5 gears and to get a low hole gear put the stick in low or ist gear and then the back box in low. that is 6 gears. The low gear in the back box is to be used in the ist gear in the main box . glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
