Hello Steve,
I would explain it like this:
A gearbox with 4 gears forward plus 1 reverse with range change will
give 4 lower gears and 4 upper gears, thus giving 8 gears forward.
The splitter makes it possible to split these 8 gears when the truck is
loaded or when driving uphill.
The splitter is in front of the gearbox (between engine and gearbox)
The range change is behind the gearbox
I hope this clears up things...
Greetings,
Maico Arts

| Between a splitter and a range change on a truck gearbox? I know what the difference is functionally, what I want to know is the mechanical difference. I've tried Google without much luck. Thanks. Steve (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)
