You have 3 options for the h-shifter.
1) Range - You can use the same as the Scania TDS default which is having 1-6 in one gearbox and 7-12 in another and you use a gear toggle to switch between them.
2) Splitter - One gear box has 1,3,5,7,9,11 and the other has 2,4,6,8,10,12.
3) Range-splitter - 4 gearboxes here and is the hardest to understand but is very easy to use when you get used to it (i use this one for Scania TDS right now) 1 gear box has Reverse, 1st, 3rd, 5th. The next has Reverse, 2nd, 4th, 6th. The next has Reverse, 7th, 9th, 11th. And the last has Reverse, 8th, 10th, 12th. The 1st+2nd and 3rd+4th switch seperately using gear toggle 1. The 1st+3rd and 2nd+4th switch seperatly using gear toggle 2.

That will probably sound VERY confusing which is why i took this picture of the STDS website that should help.


I personally, before setting of press toggle 1 to go straight into gearbox 2 then go up in 2's starting 2,4,6 etc and just hitting toggle 2 to go between the 2nd and 4th gearbox.

Hope thats more than covers your question
