I would split shift a lot and one day I was hauling a heavy load of bricks up a steep hill. I shifted the rear into low range and for the first and only time ever, it mis-shifted. The whole truck shook a continuous violent bang-bang-bang until I stopped. I was expecting the rear to have chipped gears if not completely blown out. I shifted it a time or two standing still and took off again in low range. Turned out to be just fine. Worked perfectly from that day on.

Ran a C60 with 366 and 5 x 2 I thought the top 4 pattern was neat.
It split 4L 5L to 4H 5H
always pretended it was a 13spd
