Like a manual, unless its the 7 speed. Back in the early 80's, company only ran 7 speeds in there Freigthliner trucks. Talk about close shift gates. Give me a 13 or 18 speed any day over a 7. MY KW has a 10 speed, wish it was a 9 or 13.

We have a late 80s international truck with a 7 speed. It has a cattle box on it so dont use it too much. But you are right it takes a little getting use to.

Had to read this one; only owned the 10 speed Eaton Fuller manual the truck was the perfect find in great shape and such low miles.  Other than being on I-70 on a Sunday night moving 5 miles an hour I enjoy the shifting.  Would have done the 13 speed if I could have, this one can not be converted.   Float On
