Re: Gmc 5500
I had a Clark like the one on the left. What I liked about it, is how the gears were spaced, along with having a 2-Speed Rear.
You could drive it on the road, reasonably, like a 5-Speed: 2 Lo, 3 Lo, 4 Lo, 5 Lo, 5 Hi
or like an 8-Speed: 2 Lo, 2 Hi, 3 Lo 3 Hi, 4 Lo, 5 Lo, 4 Hi, 5 Hi. Notice the Irregular Shifting Sequence. This trans allowed you to only have to Split-Shift the Rear back to Lo Range, twice.
