With Twin Sticks, one trans is the Main and the other the Auxiliary. To go through all the gears you shift the Aux 2 to 3 times, depending on the trans, to the Main once till you go through all the gears. There are also many different types. There are 5 X 2 Duplex's (usually in Macks), 5 X 3 Triplex's and 5 X 4 Quadraplex's, the most common, as well as a couple of others. Not to make it too confusing, there are more than one different Quadraplex but the most common Quadraplex is actually only shifted 13 times. Some of the gears in some of the trans can be shifted both at the same time, but most have to be shifted one at a time. When one at a time and after shifting the Main, you need to bring the Revs up in Nuetral to get the Aux back into Low. There are actually a good number of videos on YouTube showing Twin Stick shifting. One is Twin Stick Pappy. I believe that one is a Triplex. Once you click onto to that video, many others will show up. They are the hardest of all to shift and the most challenging and some of the YouTube guys don't always do the best job.
