A 15 has a U shift patten, meaning the "Big" hole is a forward movement of the stick. If you wrap your hand around the front of the shift handle, you tend to punch the dashboard, informing you the shift is complete. :lol:

I thought something seemed a little off about this. I pulled the 15 speed out of the lineup today and took it out for a pick up...top cog is back and to the right....same as 13's, 10's & 18's

I think he is right. I wasnt driving trucks then, but I remember the term. It was a Fuller tranny (now Eaton) and KW used them in K100s.
