Kenworth W900L - 3 Stick Shifting

[@TraustiHraunfjord]

whoever invented this multi stick system, is a pure stroke of genius. NOT for his invention, but for having been able to get a manufacturer to actually put this into their trucks. Totally insane.

[@Firebird_876]

All those extra two sticks do is change the range from high to low and out of direct and into direct. You're not actually moving shift forks with two of them, it’s opening or closing air solenoids. The old two-stick spicer transmissions needed two sticks because there were actually two gearboxes that you needed to shift.

For those who don't get it: A) Go to 5:19, you will see the regular 1-2-3-4 pattern shifting, thats how the 1st stick operates all the time. This should be fairly straightforward. B) @ 5:30 the 3rd stick (the range selector) has to be used. This stick ONLY moves when shifting up from 4th to 5th (L) or down from 5th (L) to 4th. C) Gears 5 to 8 are SPLIT in Lo and Hi. Going from L to H or H to L on a same gear requires using the 2nd stick (the "splitter") in addition to the 1st one. D) @5:34 you can finaly see the splitter into action . The 1st stick has to go to neutral then back into gear when splitting. Thats 5 -lo to 5- hi. E) From then on you see the 1st stick going along the standard 1-2-3-4 pattern but repeating each position twice, thus spitting lo/hi for gears 5 to 8. That's about it.

[@SnowDogRedSectorEh]

it's a 13 speed. the 'stick' on the right is replacing the range selector switch. The 'stick' on the left is replacing the splitter switch. you can see him shift all 13 speeds starting at 5:16 as follows: low, 1'st, 2'nd, 3'rd, 4'th, then selects high range (right stick), then 5'th direct, 5'th overdrive (left stick), 6'th direct, 6'th over (left stick), 7'th direct, 7'th over (left stick), 8'th direct, 8'th over (left stick). He kicks the shifter (middle stick) into neutral then back into gear when he splits 5'th to 8'th gears. I agree that it looks cool, but for me the novelty would wear of in about 15 minutes.

[@superunknown8645]

correct

[@stanleywilliams134]

to be honest, I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but I probably could figure it out, it's just a 13 speed with 3 sticks. left one is the stick that splits the high gears. middle stick is the one that goes through all of the gears. and the right one is the stick that gets the transmission from the low to high gears and vice versa.

[@robfromaz1977]

Now that I have read your comment and watched the video again I completely agree with you. I was really impressed the first time I watched this but now not so much. I have driven 13 speeds and you make perfect sense. Seems like a lot of extra hand movement just to look good. I do love the way this truck sounds though!

[@stanleywilliams134]

robfromaz1977 I've watched this video a lot, and since i noticed he only split his high gears, i was like oh it must be a 13. Pretty cool video to be honest.

[@stanleywilliams134]

Dabe Ivan when I first watched the video, i was really confused, then the more I watched it, the more I realized it didn't seem that hard. The twin stick and the triple stick transmissions are before my time lol, im only 16. But id like to try one out one day

[@KingdaToro]

It's not as bad as it looks. The center stick with the silver shaft is the actual shifter stick, and moves in the usual pattern. The stick on the right with the skull is the low-high range switch, it goes to the right for the lower gears and left for the higher ones. The left stick is the splitter, it splits each gear into two. It goes back for the lower gear and forward for the higher one.

Not that my opinion matters but this video is cool. It raises plain old shifting in a big rig to another level. Yes. It isn't necessary. Neither are polished wheels, custom interior, or an eye-catching paint job. If trucking is in your blood, some guys find ways to dial it up a notch. That set-up is not something you see everyday in real life. I had no idea you could even do that till seeing this video. This video is a celebration of an appreciation for the mechanical wonders of big rig transmissions. Shifting gears is a smooth gentle process. Done well. It's a thing of beauty. The driver is in sync with the machine and vis versa. It's hard to see but I believe he's shifting without using the clutch. That's finesse. Lots of people drive truck. Some do it with style and finesse raising it to an art. Thanks for sharing this video.

I can tell you by the sound alone it's a 13 spd. Listen for the range switch(low/high side) hiss when he moves the left and top/upper right stick. The left would be the split and upper right is the range switch. Also pay attention to the fact when he is in the low side he never touches the left stick. It's 500 rpm between gears on the bottom side and 250 rpm across the top, cuts em in half and man will it pull then. Makes a weak truck tolerable and a big truck insane.

[@derricklasaga7375]

Ir looks complicated but really it's just three different sticks instead of the high/low range lever that you hit with your finger and the overdrive tab that you hit with your thumb. And every manual truck will have the standard stuck shift.

[@camacho2]

13 speed with the air controls removed on transmission and replaced by mechanical control sticks, nice move looks awesome on video and is catchy for newbies

[@rogerburch69]

Why would anyone want to remove the air shifters and put them on sticks? Makes no sense other than trying to look cool but who would want to do all that shifting when you can simply flip a button? Stupid. He gonna feel the pain when he gets bursitis in that shoulder

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

hmmm...how could I make shifting even more complicated than what it already is? OH WAIT! Lets turn two simple buttons/levers into two extra large levers that make me take my hands of the steering wheel! PERFECT! I don't usually hate on trucker mods, because if you like it, go for it, who am I to tell you otherwise. But this seems like a safety issue to me, hate it and I would make the guy take it out if I ever had to license this truck. Same with the seat height, don't you dare to ever be in an accident!

[@Scouter98]

+ObsessionPC do you have any idea how many gears american 18 wheelers have? Mostly 18. They have to switch between 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 and 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17 if i remember correctly. These gearboxes are complicated to operate because americans cant into engineering

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

Joe Barbaro Well I know there are a lot of gears and you have to operate a splitter and such, but it ain't that hard, UNTIL you take away a simple switch and do what this guy did. Takes both hands of the wheel and shit like that....srsly...

[@xaiomygordon5537]

for real mn

[@stevenlillo221]

you do understand this isn't a mod this is a transmission

[@jmcfadden002]

+Steven Lillo this is a mod. The two extra shifters are normally switches on one shifter. This truck is stupid.

[@jjseabra2]

Anytime you have to remove both hands from the steering wheel just instills confidence that he is not going to drift into another lane an kill someone. This is a classic case of just because you can doesn't mean you should.

[@bobbeck5947]

Looks to me like an everyday 13 speed with the air shift cylinders replaced with manual levers!!!

[@stevenweaver7976]

That's exactly all it is

[@vinyldash2333]

Yep.

[@EezeeListen]

This multi stick gear shifting is more than I am able to comprehend! I can't understand any manufacturer making this system which then makes the driver take hands completely away from the wheel - ok, I know this is in America and things are different over there, the roads are bigger, wider and so on, but over here if it was proven that you were driving with no hands, you would receive a hefty fine and penalty points, but then again, never going to happen here. Just so interesting to see this rather complicated and, to me, unnecessary method of gear changes. I am not hating or saying anything untoward, I am just intrigued.

[@skeetersaurus6249]

Actually, the old Mack MaxiDyne's had this same configuration, FACTORY, and some did get to Britain. They did hit a brick wall, so to speak, with the NHTSA (U.S. National Highway and Transportation Safety Admin) and other regulatory agencies about the 'no-hands' issue to where a skilled driver actually showed how it could be done by putting their arm through the steering wheel and, by using the inside of the elbow, keep control while grabbing 'two-at-a-time'. The whole issue of that long-gone day, was low-horsepower, low-torque, and very steep (and rough) mountain roads. Keep in mind, you get a 10-percent grade on a rough road pulling a heavy load, and you BETTER have a LOT of gears to stay in your powerband. While it's a lot more for looks now with most trucks (500-horsepower sure beats 185, anyday), there's still extreme loads (over 50-tons) that can cause lots of mountain problems, especially when ice and snow chains get added to the mix (stop rolling, stop and wait for that BIG tow bill).

[@matttttttk4698]

Actually they had the same configuration, but it wasn't until the 13 speed became popular, because this is jsut a 13 speed with the splitter and range selector valves in the floor instead of on the main shifter.

[@EezeeListen]

Thank you for the most concise explanation - you have made it easier to understand as I can now relate to it, although I feel I would at least have a chance with the modern system, but zero chance with the 3 sticks :)

[@timmyrose2135]

Matthew Kelley ur so right

[@rayrandy41]

Mack had triplex and duplex. Duplex was two transmissions and triplex was the three transmission. Now this guy is not running a true triplex a he did was convert his 13 speed into a three stick.

[@akoo8696]

[@cebuanoguy]

This modification makes your job harder. Far left stick is the splitter, Center is normal gears, Right is the high/low range. I drive an 18 speed and Ive got a modified shift stick. Under the splitter, modified switch to turn on/off cruise control and another switch for the high/low. Parallel to the splitter, Opposite side is a switch for the engine brake, on/off and another switch for high/low. The modification makes my job easier, never have to reach forward to the dashboard to play with the cruise control and engine brake buttons.

Nice anti theft system! From what I gather watching this though, if I'm right, it's just a normal transmission (probably a 13) with a stick for the range selector and another stick for the splitter. Not as complicated as it looks, but if some random person hopped in they wouldn't have a clue what to do!

You are welcome (Part time truck driver here) and country music is always welcomed while you're out on the road. But you know this ain't a standard setup right... This is a showpiece thing. Left stick is the range selector, middle is standard gear selector and the right one is the overdrive. In Europe nobody has such mods... in fact most rigs are automatic. My Scania is automatic too. But I have driven older trucks with manual transmissions and what this guy has done is simply swap the shifter switches for shifters... Very cool visual, but it would be hell to use this setup on the job.

[@CumminsDslPwr]

I like it. I drove Mack's with twin sticks and several others with a 5 and a 4. Nowadays though, too many other things going on in and around the truck that require my attention and input to keep it between the white lines, and off the top of 4 wheelers that think all trucks are big slow moving machines that can stop on a dime.
