Just seen your pictures on the other thread, looks a nice couple of mogs you've got there.
They should be a standard gearbox in them, the same basic set up as most square cabs,
A straight lever to the right (on a LHD) of the main gearstick selects forward or reverse.
A main gear lever with gears 1-4 and 5-8 on, with an air shift between the ranges, should also be warning lights on dash below heater telling you which gear your in, to use make sure there is air pressure select your gear, say 3 move off then shift to 4 normally using clutch, change to 5 using clutch and move the gear stick in the normal way forward out of 4 across and up to 5, you`ll hear a hiss of air and a clunk this is normal, as you move the stick across, then carry on with gears 5-8, the same coming down. Don`t try and rush is going across the gate (3,4 pos to 5,6).
There is a interlock so you cant change from gear 1,2 to 5678, or gear 7,8 to 1234, you need to be in gears 3,4 or 5,6 to change up or down.
I`ve scanned the page out of the manual showing the levers but I could not upload it I`ll try again later.
