1. Preparing for Shift:
- Maintain light pressure on the accelerator pedal.
- Use the clutch pedal to disengage the transmission.
2. Gear Selection:
- Locate the gear shift lever. It's typically mounted on the floor between the driver's seat and the engine compartment.
- Determine the gear you need to shift into based on your speed and engine RPM.
3. Shifting Gears:
- For lower gears (1-5): Pull the gear shift lever back towards the driver's seat.
- For higher gears (6-15): Push the gear shift lever away from the driver's seat.
4. Split-Shifting (if equipped):
- Use the splitter switch (if your transmission has one) to engage or disengage the split range.
5. Re-Engaging Transmission:
- Gradually release the clutch pedal as you press down on the accelerator pedal to reengage the transmission.
- Apply enough pressure on the accelerator to match engine speed with the selected gear.
6. Gearbox Indicator (if equipped):
- If your truck has a gearbox indicator, it will display the gear that's currently engaged.
7. Practice:
- Practice shifting through the gears in a safe, controlled environment to become familiar with the movement and feel of the transmission.
Remember that shifting patterns can vary depending on the specific model of the Fuller 15-speed transmission. Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for accurate and detailed instructions on how to shift gears safely and effectively.
