[QUOTE="Old International, post: 586743, member: 14916"] I like the 10 speed in my Sterling. Of course, I only use 9, and that 5-6 split can catch you if you aren't careful. I think a lot of it has to do with the engine also. My detroit is sweet, with lots of torque to pull. I have driven some of the new Internationals also, and I hate those things. Tranny is the same, but the cummins just doesn't get it done sometimes. I started in a cabover International. It had a nine speed,(H pattern, then Hi range, and start all over). The problem was that there was so much slop in the gear shift, that finding a gear out of sequence was damn near impossiable. It was a great sleeping tractor however. I also drove a 5 speed- You had to use all 5, and wind it out just as tight as you could to get it to do anything. [/QUOTE]
