[QUOTE="bubsdad, post: 578595, member: 21830"] The lower gears with an 18, 15, and even some 13 speeds are so close together that if you double clutch every gear you will wear your leg out. Most 18 and 15 speeds are low reduction. They are mainly used in trucks that haul heavy loads all the time. If you're not heavy, you just skip splitting the bottom half. When you are heavy, it is alot of shifting, but it takes alot of wear off of the motor and clutch. My brother drives a Pete with a 650 Cat with a low reduction 15 speed. He needs it because sometimes he's grossing 130K plus. [/QUOTE]
