    How To Shift The Spicer PRO-SHIFT 18 Speed Transmission: Starting Vehicle From A Stop

    Uploaded by

    MA RIO
    This document provides instructions for operating the Spicer PRO-SHIFT 18 speed transmission. It describes the normal shift sequence using double clutching techniques. When upshifting, the driver depresses the clutch and moves the lever to neutral to allow speeds to match before engaging the next gear. Splitter shifts can be done with a single clutch application. Downshifting follows the reverse process. The document also provides reminders to always double clutch, avoid forcing shifts, and not to coast in neutral.

    4. Normal shift sequence is shown in the shift pattern
    Fig. 1 (Figure 1). When the lever is moved, use normal double
    clutch techniques. When a shift is desired, depress the
    clutch pedal and move the lever to neutral. Engage the
    clutch, allowing the engine to drop so engine and drive
    line speeds are matched. Depress the clutch pedal and
    move the lever into gear. Engage the clutch and acceler-
