as a professional driver, to save your arm and wrist, dont worry about splitting unless you absolutly need it. you can essintly drive an 18 like you would a 8 speed H style. When empty run in high split, and heavy run low split :) you can also start rolling in 3rd low or 2nd high. even when loaded
Jeff a quick trucking tip if you placed your hand on top, (like an actual trucker) the utilization of the splitter and range will be much easier to switch from Hi to Low.
Jeff when you are shifting range and splitter are pre selectable. If you want to go from low to high shift into gear in low and preselect high. When you let off the gas it will automatically shift to high. The splitter can be pre selected after shifting into 4th you can flip the splitter and when you press the clutch the transmission will split automatically. Hope that this helps and makes it a little easier.
Don't buy from CSIO Tech. They do not respond to emails or phone calls on orders awaiting shipment. If you place your order and expect to get it within three to four weeks... it's not going to happen.
Same! I ordered mine 6 weeks ago and it hasn't shipped yet. On the FAQ page it says it takes no more than 3 weeks. I'm pissed of and impatient with these fools.
Iain Robson *This is not hate towards the creator but the company (CSIO) isn’t giving people their orders it’s been a year + for some people they don’t answer twitter, phone messages or email please do not waste your money! I hope this helped someone and please copy and paste this so others know this company is a scam!*
Absolutely! I agree with you. Most of the reviews on CSIO will have same content... disastrous delivery time and no response to questions....Recently I ordered AplusB SimuShift Knob alongside their professional driving simulator... I kinda liked the fast delivery & performance is far beyond my expectations.. quality of the material is nice! Worth a try.. just go for it.
True. I had similar experience with CSIO ... Pathetic and lamest way of handling a paid customer...instead reading reviews on AplusB simushift knob, I ordered one..All I can say, a good experience with these folks..delivery was fast as promised and responses were quick...quality is decent and works very good..highly recommended.
Awesome, definitely going to have to order one. To make shifting a little smoother, as you are accelerating in high preselect low. You don't have to wait until you are in neutral to shift back to low and you'll be able to shift to the next gear smoother.
as a truck driver just to help you out if you bobtail you dont need to split all the gears you can do all lows then split to high for the final gear and you can start out in 4th if you want to
+Wafflehatjoe thanks for the feedback, I wasn't 100% sure how it is set up in the real truck. I had to go with the default values of ATS but they allow you to put it backwards of the game.
+Jeff Favignano ya for sure, in reality and ats really it would be personal preference. in a truck it would just be switching 2 airlines opposite and in ats case keybinds. generally you split more than change from high range to low and thumb slider is far more comfortable
If you haven't found it theres a new version of vipers 389 (2.0) that allows you to customize the interior, change sleepers (it will change the interior now) and a few other things here and there :) ALSO when bobtailing you can start in 2nd or 3rd since you are lighter and the gears are so low
Fyi, you are saying it backwards. What you're calling, "high and low" is actually splitting between direct and high, and the big "paddle" is the range selector, going from high and low range. So the front, is range, side is splitter.
+JAS THE GAME FREAK well I have the buttons backwards from what people are telling me, I have never used a real eaton shifter before so mistakes will be made!
Any idea why CSIO isn't returning my email's or why they haven't shipped my shifter? Lots of "sponsored" videos or this shifter and yet no shifter. I purchased it along worth other accessories and nothing yet and no communication. I have even tried contacting Jeff here. Nothing! Buyer beware
+Jason Sharpe I am not sponsored by them, I paid for mine in full. I never made a dime off the affiliate link either. Not sure why happened with the company.
DONT buy from CSIO try the mega shifter or the aplusbsoftware one. There's even a ETS2 style for euro trucks on ebay if you type in SKRS. CSIO doesn't answer emails and I ordered in may. Still NOTHING.. Buyers remorse big time.
Hey Jason, did you get a chance to check AplusB SimuShift knob? I got it recently from amazon .. delivered in 4 days and a very good experience with folks out there. Knob seems to be cool and I feel this is a perfect alternative for CSIO and few others in market now...overall a decent product and with good quality... works great too.. cheers!
the front splitter when you flip it is it very snappy like the real thing i got the 10 speed eaton just wish 9th and 10th were geared a bit higher 1400 at 65 is a tad much
Just ordered one of these! Cant wait to learn shifting properly - Find it very difficult with the standard g27 h shifter and buttons for range/splitter!
Doesn't this come with the metal extension so you can put the shifter on the floor to be like a real truck? I remember seeing a video on CSIO's website but wasn't sure if the product came with the extension or not.
+Jeff Favignano Be careful on shifting it dont attempt to speed shift the slots inside the shifter its self are just meer plastic ive already broke the seperator between 4 and R on my shifter ive had it extended for roughly 2-3 years now broke the first 2 weeks of normal usage
Really loving the earlier uploading times Jeff! I can now watch your videos in the evening before I go to bed, instead of in the morning! Is that the 'improvement' you mentioned on Twitter?
So recently bought an original Scania shifter but i can't get those splitters to work in ETS. Am i able to take the cables from this shifter and try and get them to work on the Scania shifter?
Does it work with logitech driving force shifter jeff please let me know because i don't like to order something that does not work so please let me know
What shifter or the knob if shifter than what shifter should i buy for logitech g29 and if the knob then what knob should i buy please let me know before this summer
Jeff Favignano how long did you wait for the knob please let me know because i want to play ats this summer and i want to have the most realistic filling as posible
hey buddy do you know the process of charge there asking to go to another site called stripe dashboard is this part that you did im trying to order my shift knob can you help out please
you didnt go with the easy jake? I did when i ordered it. also what version of coast to coast are you using. I am using the 1.7.2 I havent found any bugs yet and the roads line up nicely.
nice video :) I just wanted to mention that their Website says that the standard medallions come with the pre-order package und you don't need to buy them separately
Hey guys!!! Just wanted to let everyone know, I made a fan group for Jeff on Facebook!!! If your interested, just search Jeff Favignano Fan Group on Facebook! See you all there!
pretty select your gears between high and low, and you don't really need an 18 unless your doing heavy hauls 13 good for any standard loads that way you have more gears for your top end.
We ordered one on january and still dont have it.I know it can take time but we are ready to wait for it.For some customers,it took 4 months to finally get the shifter,so we hope that we get ours soon to get our simulator done.
Jeff FYI your calling the switches wrong, the main switch (black one on front) is the range switch and the secondary switch (small gray) is the splitter i.e. "splitting" the gear between high/low
This company is a spam. Don't waste your money. Instead look for other options. I ordered from aplusbsoftware . They are situated in U.S. They have excellent service.
Can you actually do a shifter cam on your proper ATS series of videos now? It's actually pretty cool to see now you've got the bonafied Eaton Fuller shifter.
Has anyone ordered this in the last month or so? (Jan or February) I'm just wondering if they're still having shipment/production issues due to the high demand thanks all
Seems like it would be easier to reverse the switches.. have the grey be the spliter and the black be the high/low.. I thought that's how it is in a real truck.. I'm no trucker though so what do I know lol
as a professional driver, to save your arm and wrist, dont worry about splitting unless you absolutly need it. you can essintly drive an 18 like you would a 8 speed H style. When empty run in high split, and heavy run low split :) you can also start rolling in 3rd low or 2nd high. even when loaded
the bottom lever is called the range selector and the side one is called the splitter
+RoadHammer3406E thank you, i was getting so mad when he was calling it a paddle shifter
dethdeks yea I was just trying to help
+RoadHammer3406E simple mistake
Jeff Favignano just trying to help I'm a fuel hauler so if you have any truck questions I can help
Yeah that was getting on my nerves too
Jeff a quick trucking tip if you placed your hand on top, (like an actual trucker) the utilization of the splitter and range will be much easier to switch from Hi to Low.
Jeff when you are shifting range and splitter are pre selectable. If you want to go from low to high shift into gear in low and preselect high.

The splitter can be pre selected after shifting into 4th you can flip the splitter and when you press the clutch the transmission will split automatically. Hope that this helps and makes it a little easier.
Kudos! I have driven a 379 Pete for many years now with an 18 speed. the shifting looks realistic and you drive it quite well!
Don't buy from CSIO Tech. They do not respond to emails or phone calls on orders awaiting shipment. If you place your order and expect to get it within three to four weeks... it's not going to happen.
Jaymie 5.0 Yes I finally received it.
Joe Moffa I got my shifter today took about six months to get it. And you are right they don't like to answer the emails.
Same! I ordered mine 6 weeks ago and it hasn't shipped yet. On the FAQ page it says it takes no more than 3 weeks. I'm pissed of and impatient with these fools.
6 weeks? shiiiit, I ordered mine in February, and still haven't seen it
how did u finally get your man
It looks like a solid shifter. It's definitely one up to up your ATS game.
Iain Robson *This is not hate towards the creator but the company (CSIO) isn’t giving people their orders it’s been a year + for some people they don’t answer twitter, phone messages or email please do not waste your money!

Awesome, definitely going to have to order one. To make shifting a little smoother, as you are accelerating in high preselect low. You don't have to wait until you are in neutral to shift back to low and you'll be able to shift to the next gear smoother.
Watching you shift helped me understand so shifting much better. I see now how I can set use fanatec shifter using this or even buttons on my wheel.
The Front Lever is The High and low Range The smaller button on the side is the splitter
I'm glad the product went through, I post it on twitter about a month ago
When u split u can split before u change gear
So going from 2nd h to third low split down before u move the stick so the gear is preloaded
Scam company. After 6 months and no response from CSIO I had to go through my bank for a refund.
as a truck driver just to help you out if you bobtail you dont need to split all the gears you can do all lows then split to high for the final gear and you can start out in 4th if you want to
+pychokenny1 not in ATS ive tried starting from 4L while bobtailing and the truck stalls highest ive been able to start from is 2L
Eaton Fuller straight 10 is my favorite. My truck I'm driving right now is a Eaton Fuller 9 speed. I like manuals but it gets old driving in the city.
after watching you go through the gears Jeff, I went to walk off but fell over...a new respect for real truckies.
I thought he was going to say " I like to live my life a gear at a time" lol
On the side button, you should pre-select the position before moving into neutral. My RL Peterbilt has an 18 speed with this actual shifter.
grey switch is the slitter, the other is your range slector from low range(1-4 down pos) to high(5-8 up pos).
+Wafflehatjoe thanks for the feedback, I wasn't 100% sure how it is set up in the real truck. I had to go with the default values of ATS but they allow you to put it backwards of the game.
+Jeff Favignano ya for sure, in reality and ats really it would be personal preference. in a truck it would just be switching 2 airlines opposite and in ats case keybinds. generally you split more than change from high range to low and thumb slider is far more comfortable
the "paddle" in front is low high range , side button is for half gear when you are heavy
The side slider is the splitter. The front paddle is the range selector
actually the flipper switch in front is your high and low switch on side is your splitter switch which is direct and over
If you haven't found it theres a new version of vipers 389 (2.0) that allows you to customize the interior, change sleepers (it will change the interior now) and a few other things here and there :)
ALSO when bobtailing you can start in 2nd or 3rd since you are lighter and the gears are so low
@3:08 how do you get your cameras to make the full turn to look left and right?
Great review about the new shifter you got!
The switch on front is the range selector and the one on the side is the splitter
Nice!
Fyi, you are saying it backwards. What you're calling, "high and low" is actually splitting between direct and high, and the big "paddle" is the range selector, going from high and low range. So the front, is range, side is splitter.
jeff its alot easier to operate splitter/range selector if your hand is on top. pretty cool add on
+stickshiftsonly93 thanks for the tip man
This actually looks pretty cool. Might get one!
Pal you have the buttons on the shifter backwards... my dad drove a truck and the front flicker is for hi/low and the grey is you splitter
Thanks for letting all of us see this jeff, i can learn how to properly shift an 18 speed now.
Of all the videos ive been watching of how too
+JAS THE GAME FREAK well I have the buttons backwards from what people are telling me, I have never used a real eaton shifter before so mistakes will be made!
+Jeff Favignano Oh, i thought that was how it is on eighteen speeds, oh well mistakes happens so
Any idea why CSIO isn't returning my email's or why they haven't shipped my shifter? Lots of "sponsored" videos or this shifter and yet no shifter. I purchased it along worth other accessories and nothing yet and no communication. I have even tried contacting Jeff here. Nothing! Buyer beware

Yeah, thanks for the intel. Mega shifter looks pretty cool. Well almost if not the same thing. Thank you again!
Hey Jason, did you get a chance to check AplusB SimuShift knob? I got it recently from amazon .. delivered in 4 days and a very good experience with folks out there. Knob seems to be cool and I feel this is a perfect alternative for CSIO and few others in market now...overall a decent product and with good quality... works great too.. cheers!
the front splitter when you flip it is it very snappy like the real thing i got the 10 speed eaton just wish 9th and 10th were geared a bit higher 1400 at 65 is a tad much
+crapper1 I found out that they take them from actual trucks.
more than likely buy em from eaton fuller and pay the licencing rights still wouldnt feel proper without that click clunck hiss
Just ordered one of these! Cant wait to learn shifting properly - Find it very difficult with the standard g27 h shifter and buttons for range/splitter!
Did you get it?
Definitely going to get this.
Doesn't this come with the metal extension so you can put the shifter on the floor to be like a real truck? I remember seeing a video on CSIO's website but wasn't sure if the product came with the extension or not.
+Pooters Gaming no it does not, not sure if it will be an option in later releases or by itself.
+Jeff Favignano jeff which computer do you have
Jeff Favignano
Good to know, thanks!
+Mr Tbeeb He says it in one of his vlogs.
+Pooters Gaming The Logitech shifter isn't strong enough to handle that. You will rip the shifter apart, because the inside is all plastic.
Hey mate iv been trying to get in contact with These guys but won’t get back to me
They have very poor customer service. They never reply. You can look for the other reliable company like aplusbsoftware.
They will send it it just takes a long time
It would be neat to build a pedestal to put the shifter next to your leg. Make that shifted about waist high
+e schmidt I plan on it!
+Jeff Favignano Be careful on shifting it dont attempt to speed shift the slots inside the shifter its self are just meer plastic ive already broke the seperator between 4 and R on my shifter ive had it extended for roughly 2-3 years now broke the first 2 weeks of normal usage
Your setup is sick!!
+NiceBeats thanks dude, many years of work on it!
love it but my boot is split and it looks a bit too rugged without the leather. No idea where you can get spares from.
Jeff I tried ordering one and it said not sacure
Do not buy from them, my recent videos have a link to Southern Trucker Gaming. That’s what you want
I want to try it, as a truck driver I want to see how it compares to the real shifting feel.
For the g27 switchgear you must have the g27 or can you use an another steering wheel
did you use clutch each time when changing gears or game allows to change gears like in real truck without using clutch ?
Really loving the earlier uploading times Jeff! I can now watch your videos in the evening before I go to bed, instead of in the morning! Is that the 'improvement' you mentioned on Twitter?
Also it would be cool to see your logo as a medallion for your shifter
what is the hight of the shifter including the shifter knob from csio?
That's freakin awesome! Looks like a viper shifter
So recently bought an original Scania shifter but i can't get those splitters to work in ETS. Am i able to take the cables from this shifter and try and get them to work on the Scania shifter?
Does it work with logitech driving force shifter jeff please let me know because i don't like to order something that does not work so please let me know
Do not buy this, look into tech affliction. The comments below will explain why
What shifter or the knob if shifter than what shifter should i buy for logitech g29 and if the knob then what knob should i buy please let me know before this summer
Jeff Favignano how long did you wait for the knob please let me know because i want to play ats this summer and i want to have the most realistic filling as posible
Jeff Favignano how do you change gears now in ats please let me know
Jeff Favignano oh than what should i buy 😢😥😭
What are those LEDs on the bottom right corner of your monitor?
+JohnathanPlays
Its probably just the LCD LEDs that are blinking due to the camera refresh rate?
Ah.
yeah those are the menu buttons
Very realistic! Looks like a real shifter from a semi!
hey buddy do you know the process of charge there asking to go to another site called stripe dashboard is this part that you did im trying to order my shift knob can you help out please
Don't order from CSIO. You won't ever get the shifter. Search TechAffliction.
AyMazing ATS ok thank you i will do that now i heard lots of bad reviews on csio company
and im looking for a g29
wheel as well
sould not change the splitter in N needs to be done why in gear or it can do damage to the gears
you didnt go with the easy jake?
I did when i ordered it.
also what version of coast to coast are you using.
I am using the 1.7.2
I havent found any bugs yet and the roads line up nicely.
Easyjake wasn't available at the time. You can always order it afterwards.
Where can I get this exact shifter please I really want one.
nice video :) I just wanted to mention that their Website says that the standard medallions come with the pre-order package und you don't need to buy them separately
Should I get the Fanetic or g29? I like driving games, ATS
is this like driving a real manual? like do you have to use the clutch like a real manual
+max wald yes
+max wald unless youre good at floating lol
What is the gear LL and LH? Is LL 17th gear, and LH is 18th gear or what?
Crawler gear. It's below 1st gear and it can be split.
what an amazing add on 😍
Hey guys!!! Just wanted to let everyone know, I made a fan group for Jeff on Facebook!!! If your interested, just search Jeff Favignano Fan Group on Facebook! See you all there!
where can i purchase one
On the new Logitech G920 shifter, will it work for ets2 with the 12 speed
Why wouldn't it? It's just 2 switches mounted on a stick...
What would the splitter be used for actually?
heavy hauls, if u just use automatic/gear up without this, it makes the low and high seperate gears so 1-18 instead of 1-8 with split
Basically any time when you need a gear betwen your current one and the one below or over it.
Hi jeff i live in st.louis also how long did it take you to get the shifter i ordered it 1 month ago and i havent recived anything yet
Nice job Dude, just bought one of these after seeing the video. I was gonna buy one anyway, but nice job.
+Tony James Awesome man I love mine!
I live in the UK but can I still buy this shifter
Madtrucker Don't buy it, they will take your money but will not ship your shifter.
SignalBox then what shifter should I buy. do you recomend anything.
pretty select your gears between high and low, and you don't really need an 18 unless your doing heavy hauls 13 good for any standard loads that way you have more gears for your top end.
What's the EasyJake edition they have available for preorder now?
How long did yours take to deliver? I ordered mine over a month ago and it still hasn't shipped yet
keep waiting... I ordered mine in February, and still don't have it
how much money is the wheel+shifter+Eaton fuller stick?
We ordered one on january and still dont have it.I know it can take time but we are ready to wait for it.For some customers,it took 4 months to finally get the shifter,so we hope that we get ours soon to get our simulator done.
Did you received it? i ordered mine in march and still dont have it
Keep waiting. You wont get as this company is a spam.
If I buy the skrs add on for my th8a shifter can I just use it for range? No splitter.
fanominal setup. really accurate setup
+Patrick robinson thank you Patrick!
Cool review wish I had PC to play ATS I would buy that definitely seems more realistic
+Jeff favigano you should show us u using the gear stick during the American truck sim videos
What steering wheel and pedals do you have?
He has a Logitech g27
Jeff FYI your calling the switches wrong, the main switch (black one on front) is the range switch and the secondary switch (small gray) is the splitter i.e. "splitting" the gear between high/low
How long does it take to ship out in the U.S
This company is a spam. Don't waste your money. Instead look for other options. I ordered from aplusbsoftware . They are situated in U.S. They have excellent service.
you are awesome Jeff
Jeff, what truck are you driving?
I’m trying to order a shifter I live in the uk can I get a site to order it please
Can you actually do a shifter cam on your proper ATS series of videos now? It's actually pretty cool to see now you've got the bonafied Eaton Fuller shifter.
+Darth mong yes I will
do your monitor lights always blink like that? i would go crazy
Love your vids Jeff and I wonder... are you going to use the shifter top in ATS? Are there any other games you could use it in?
I know not to go through Csio but who would I go through to get that type of shifter. Can't think of the name
Southern Trucker Gaming on Facebook makes and sells those shifters, and are of A LOT higher quality
Hey man is there a site or sumthing to downloaf the driver or whatnot..didnt get any paperwork whatsoever
Has anyone ordered this in the last month or so? (Jan or February) I'm just wondering if they're still having shipment/production issues due to the high demand thanks all
hey jeff what steering wheel is that that u r using boss man
have u ever showed ur whole setup
why is your monitor led´s flash like that?
Yep, now I know what I want for Christmas :).
You planning on doing more face/shift cams with this? Buggs needs to get one too!
What are you running on your computer to make your game run so smoothly. Thanks in advance
will this work on ETS2 or just ATS?
Not sure but it should work with ETS2 because it is a shifter mod with extra buttons
Love the shifter. Would I be able to play this without any steering wheel or gear shifter? I need to fix my Logitech wheel.
Seems like it would be easier to reverse the switches.. have the grey be the spliter and the black be the high/low.. I thought that's how it is in a real truck.. I'm no trucker though so what do I know lol
+Robert Ward The switch setup that he is using is the actual setup on the real Eaton Fuller 18
+Phillip King Gotcha.. Like I said I'm no trucker lol Thanks
Is this compatible with the logitech g920?
