This must be a record for a thread revival :laughing:

But after all that no one seems to have remembered that shift pattern was what differentiated the typical lash up Brit cab over type remote linkage from the one used in conventionals in which it was the usual H pattern that applied. :wink:

It was nothing to do with the linkage ! they were 2 different boxes the “w” shift and the “H” shift. Incidentily if you put a gear stick direct (without linkage) into either of these boxes, the gears would be totally back to front.

Now I am doing it, apart from crawler the gearchange in my Fuller equipped ERF, Ford Transcontinental and Saviem were all the same way round as a Ford Cortina and Mini Cooper

:confused: :confused: The Leyland Marathon which I drove was H pattern too if I remember right with the 9 speed fuller in it and the T 45 was too but had the Spicer box not fuller :question: but the difference between the Marathon and the W pattern used in the Fodens and Bedford TM’s was all in the linkage set ups not the boxes :question: Think it might even have been cable linkages on the Foden and Bedford but not the Marathon etc :question: .But the Magi Deutz conventional with a 9 speed Fuller was’nt a reverse H or reverse W it just had the brilliant shift quality of a direct linkage in an ordinary H pattern.
