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

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


This "splitter" may well occur in the differential. When the lever on the
shifter is changed the differential shifts gears giving a lower or higher
ratio to the wheels.
