We'll, I've committed with Ted Hils to buy the
M813A1. Now I'm wondering about the specifics of
driving it. Its sufficiently big and crude as
compared to the complex Wilson gear boxes in my
Dingo and Ferret and the smooth Honda gear
shifter in my Insight that I'm curios as to how
exactly the transfer shifts are handled while in
motion. Clearly theres ratios to take into
account when moving that lever. Even so, how
exactly does one make the transition from low
range to high range? Is it as simple as clutch
in, "gas" off, pull the lever, clutch out, "gas"
on?
